@ #2: I still have the Diamond running over at
Chess.com simply because of a) chess mentor and b) the ~18k players logged into live chess at times. There's really no way to not ever get the kind of game you want and they have a lot of leagues and teams.
That said, I have
chess.com, ICC, FIDE Online Arena, FICS, and this is by far my favorite chess site. I just wish you guys would stop, for the love of God, referring to 5+5 and 8+0 games as "classical". Please do what every other online site does and start "standard" with at least 15 minutes as a primary time control.
