Infinity Chess
Infinity Chess is an important international server that allows you to play chess online against human players or chess engines. The site, in fact, provides various game modes combining human, computer, and centaur (human + computer) play.
It organizes various chess tournaments and offers everyone the opportunity to test their skills against opponents worldwide, diversified by skill level, supporting all UCI (Universal Chess Interface) chess engines and having assorted rooms for each type of activity and game mode.
You can start playing immediately as a guest or create an account, participate in official tournaments, and organize your own by earning "Fini," the currency of Infinity Chess, convertible into Euros and US Dollars. It also allows you to contribute and provide your opinion in live chat.[1]
Infinity Chess organizes Engine Tournaments every day of the week,[2] but periodically organizes Freestyle Chess tournaments for centaurs (a superset of advanced Chess, created by GM Garry Kasparov[3], in which each player can lawfully use chess programs and engines), with cash prizes. After the PAL/CSS Freestyle Tournament, the centaur tours organized by Infinity Chess were the most numerous and important in the world.[4]
