I just played it and it also said it was played 0 times
To anyone that plays chess or would like to: lichess is an all-around wonderful site, and in my opinion the best place to play chess! It's also free, and ad free.
imho, ICC is the gold standard. You can get at least a simul with a master almost everyday. The GM commentary is incredible for live tournaments, and things like ICC's Game of the Week from GM Joel Benjamin are unmatched.
If you haven't yet taken a look at lichess give it a shot, it's wonderfully elegant and well-done project and there is a lot of great talent that plays there as well as wonderful features such as lichess tv, coaching, analysis and puzzles which are all free -- and there's no ads, the UX design is very click, too!
Edit: I'm not a Master and don't need that level of competitiveness, but on lichess TV I am always seeing Masters playing there.
it really depresses me that we can't do similar things in the tournament scrabble community :( there's no shortage of programmers and open-source enthusiasts; it's just the spectre of being sued by hasbro that kills everything.
I'm not nearly good enough to play a master, and I use lichess to play Chess960 (Fischer Random). Can ICC do that?
Edit: The ICC app does seem to have Chess960. However I couldn't tell where my offer went in free mode, and the UI was filled with stuff I couldn't use. Lichess's UX seems slicker. In particular:
a) When you open the app you get a problem. Solve it and you get another, and another and another.
b) You can ask for computer analysis after a game.
ICC, unfortunately, was built around a desktop CLI, BlitzIn, that really suffers from the transition to mobile. BlitzIn can do both of those things but I have no idea how you would accomplish them through the app.
I'll always remember BlitzIn fondly (it was the first CLI I used, before I even knew what that was) but ICC's glory days were the late 90s and early 00s.
