Users can go to the Lists tab and chose the seek graph or seek list to find a chess game. Hollow circles on graph are unrated and may play guests. Another option for members is going to the Board tab's menu and entering an auto pairing pool. On Lists tab there are choices to watch high rated games going on, broadcast games and current listing of ICC videos to watch as well.

There are two main menus in the program. One is on first tab's console next to typing area with things like re-connect and change font size and the other is on board tab with all game and board settings.

If the user gets a private message ( yellow color), hit the f9 button(near typing area on Con tab) to respond.

If the user moves a channel out of con to chan1 or chan2 tabs then they won't have to type tell (channel number). Guests can't join ICC channels but members can.

There is sound on the board tab menu. If users don't want sound, disable it on board tab's menu and it will save the setting.
