One of the more popular places to play online chess is the Internet Chess Club.
It has been around for a long time. ICC and FICS split many years ago when the internet was in its infancy. FICS wanted to provide a free place to play chess while the ICC wanted to provide some services which had a cost. Both are good sites and provide a good service. ICC has a lot more players on normally, and there are some other benefits to the service. The problem is the cost. It costs $70 a year for a membership. The price seems very high and it has kept me from playing there since there are many other places to play.
If the $70 a year is not a problem, ICC provides good services and has a good number of players to play against. You get access to chess.fm - videos teaching chess. Personally - I play at FICS and chess.com for free.
