Tightening the screws

No more free rides at the Internet Chess Club. In a post about the recent price increase for membership, Daland mentions that the ICC is "doing away with Guest play too." Previously, they limited chess.fm access to members only and the same is now true for their video lectures as well.

Personally, I never felt compelled to purchase a membership though I have played as a guest on occasion and I did enjoy chess.fm and the videos when they were free. I suppose I'll miss the free services, but not enough to add an additional annual expense to my chess budget. What about you?
