New Site: Simple Chess

From their webpage:
As you can tell from the name, SimpleChess is simple to navigate around the site. It is designed for amateur players who would like to have a good time by playing and /or learning online. Our playing zone has more than 800,000 members. You can play 24/7 against players from all over the world.

You can also play against computer at various levels. In addition, you can solve puzzles, read news or improvement tips, and watch instructional videos. To celebrate this historic World Championship in Chennai, India, between legendary World Champion Vishy Anand and world #1 Magnus Carlsen, you can play and learn FREE on SimpleChess until February 1, 2014. After that, some parts of the server will remain free, while others will be available at nominal fees. There will plenty of additions in the next few months. In the meantime, have fun and enjoy the greatest game on earth!

I have not played there but find it curious that it says you can play and learn FREE on SimpleChess until February 1, 2014. After that, some parts of the server will remain free, while others will be available at nominal fees.  Apparently things haven't been updated recently and when I visited and logged on 'Play' there were, according to the server, 270+ games being played.  Also, over 800,000 members?! If you are interested, check them out.
