Strong keep - Gulp! I may be a bridgeplayer but even I know this is highly notable. The oldest,
[1] biggest
[2] etc online chess playing site. used by all/most of the top GMs. Plenty of sources
here that address ICC directly -, even in mainstream publications
[3][4][5][6] etc, mentioned in a pile of chess books
[7] etc. Of course the page needs sourcing and a really good clean up but that is an editorial matter. What research did the nominator carry out
before nomination?

I agree. Its been seven months since the last post about anything on the talk page, and most of the other post are from years ago. Before nominating an article, use tags and discuss things on the talk page, thus saving us all some time.

Keep The New York Times articled sited says "For stronger players, the Internet Chess Club is worth checking out. Home to the Web's oldest for-profit chess server, the club now claims 26,000 paid subscribers, said the company's president, Daniel Sleator, a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. He said that about 300 grandmasters and 500 international masters play at the site at no cost."
