I love Chess.com, but there are a lot of chess resources online. I've been using those resources for a long time. One of the biggest and oldest is the University of Pittsburgh  http://www.pitt.edu/~schach/  another is Chess Publishing http://www.enpassant.dk/chess/dtpeng.htm  .

My first chess site was instantchess.com. I used it for a lot of years before chess.com. It's nothing spectacular, but I like being able to look up games I played in 2001 and whatnot, some of which I remember still.

I think if you look up "Tim Krabbé chess records" on Google you'll find a very interesting page of extreme and weird chess records.
