It really gives you a good framework for understanding the general outlines of chess strategy, and how really good players think. I am probably a class B player (around 1800 rating).
I play on Chessbase's site which has a nice interface from the chessbase database program. There is a feee if you want to build a rating and keep a standard name. People also might consider The ICC chess Club. It's a top notch online interface "place" to play.
