ICC is dying next to Playchess, at its peak ICC gets maybe 3000- 4000. Playchess sees 6000+ daily. Playchess has a 90+5 league called The All Nations Chess League, http://www.anclchess.net/. It mainly consists of OTB players although it has a few masters and even the odd GM.
From experience I can tell you its much easier to find 90+ min games on Playchess than ICC.

Oh! I might add it really depends where you live ^^ If you're in the states or so ICC is probably a better idea since the people will mainly be on when you're on, Europe etc? Go for Playchess. 🙂
In my opinion. I suggest to join to blkmagic tournaments in FICS.
They are 90 30 tournaments.
The info is in

Originally posted by diskamylIt's possible to find players for longer time control game on FICS. Look at teamleague.org and www.stcbunch.net/news1.php.
After a long, devestating and awfully demoralizing losing streak in rapid games (30 min) in FICS, I decided to go back to long time controls. However, people in FICS surprisingly probably just hate long games as a whole, consistent community, I really don't know why.
So my options are playchess or ICC, (or if there are others, I would like to get an idea ...[text shortened]... with very limited time. if you also have any training methods for this, I would appreciate it.
