a commercial Internet chess server devoted to the play and discussion of chess and chess variants online. The first Internet chess server (ICS), programmed by Michael Moore and Richard Nash, was launched on 15 January 1992. The same year, Daniel Sleator volunteered to take over as head programmer, and on March 01, 1995, announced his intentions to commercialize ICS, renaming it the Internet Chess Club, or ICC, and charging a yearly membership fee. Harold Bogner served as general manager and consultant. On 29 May 2007, the [|World Chess Network] was bought by the ICC, then merged with [|Chess Live]. The resulting //World Chess Live// merged into and become part of the Internet Chess Club on March 19, 2012. ICC provides the proprietary Windows clients BlitzIn developed by Hugh S. Myers, and the Dasher.
