Recommended Chess Internet Sites
I can think of two informative chess Internet sites--Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org) and Chessmaniac (chessmaniac.com).

Wikipedia covers the gamut on the game of chess--history; terminology; opening, mid-game and endgame strategy; notation; etc. I highly recommend this site for both novices and advanced players alike. The Wikipedia chess article is to chess players as the Harbrace College Handbook is to writers, in my opinion.

The chessmaniac site is a free site maintained by chess master, Al Wood. Among other very useful information, the site offers daily puzzles, free chess games (after registration), and a plethora of other related information.

I am very interested in the realization of chess websites others have found. Please share such discovered sites with your fellow club members here.

Chessgames.com
One of my favorites is Chessgames.com. It has a huge amount of stuff in it, puzzles, quizzes, databases, all sorts of activities and it is a pretty heterogeneous community, that is, it has players of all levels. It's free for basic services but paying for premium membership is absolutely worth it.

My Recommend Chess Internet Sites
On the net we can find a lot ot chess sites, many of them are funny but not really interesting so this post could help maybe newest players/members to navigate the web for chess without loosing themselves in time-loosing sites....
Here follows my modest contribute.

www.chesstempo.com - agree with Jim, very well done and interesting
www.chesstactics.com - another site where to learn tactics. Very good.
www.chessebook.com
www.chessmaniac.com - agree with Jim (i'm also subscriber there).
www.chesscube.com - (i'm subscriber) here you can play only live chess but it's interesting and very well done. You can also find video lessons (free/to buy)
www.chesshere.com - (i'm subscriber) site to play near-live (1/2 hour) and/or correspondence games
www.chessclan.com - (i'm subscriber). Play correspondence games. One of my favourites.
www.freechess.com - (i'm subscriber). Play correspondence games
www.redhotpawn.com - (i'm subscriber). Play correspondence games

Ok my list...
Chess openings by Adam Bozon.. homepage.ntlworld.com very good for starters and intermediate players

chess Statistics homepage.ntlworld.com just a good list on what is what..

and because the only chess program that is running properly on this old P3 400Mhz is PGN Mentor so i use loads of database information.. www.pgnmentor.com

and the wiki pages are also good. but i use a different link.. that makes tings easier to find.. en.wikipedia.org

And i play real correspondence thematic chess games by email.. so if you like go check.
