Mixed up article

This is one mixed up article. Most of the Internet Chess Club stuff duplicates that in that article. I am proposing to strip this down to be a neutral, more general article on chess servers. BlueValour 01:47, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Several comments

I agree completely with BlueValour
I redirected "online chess" to this page since this article pretty much describes it.
Perhaps the division interface servers (old-school such as ICC, FICS, chess.net,etc) and java servers (yahoo, etc) should be made clearer.
I think Playchess should have its own article, rather than redirect to chessbase.
How about a comparison chart on the different servers?

Notable chess servers

I have removed:

neither is as notable as the others listed. Chess.net has no article and the Kurnik article doesn't even mention chess! BlueValour 18:50, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Kurnik is listed as a chess server in the article on chess, that is why I thought I list it here. It has around 1500 players online at any given time, which makes it larger than FICS. Voorlandt 19:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
