PLEASE READ! DO NOT USE LIVE CHESS unless you understand that it is still a work-in-progress. You MAY be disconnected randomly. You MAY experience lag. You WILL be disappointed if you expect anything else. For the BEST EXPERIENCE on Live Chess we recommend that you use Firefox 3, Safari 3, or Chrome. Internet Explorer browser does not perform well in Live Chess. Seriously, try Firefox 3!

We are working really hard on making Live Chess as fast, stable, and amazing as possible. In the mean time, please be patient - thanks!

 

Just curious if any of this is not clear to anyone?

I just want to make sure Black Waive...i see alot of posts about people complaining about disconnect...losing rating points...etc. 

Thank you for actually taking the time to read the warning, and for the outstanding comprehension skills.

maybe the wink is a tell all, but i disagree.  if people do not read the disclaimer, it's perfectly acceptable for someone else to point it out...

 

not really annoying at all.

Nobody reads error messages, I thought that was well known. It's just like beta software from any other company - I expect it to work.

Try calling it an 'Alpha' version instead of a 'Beta'. Then people will have to look up what 'Alpha' versions really mean and the idea will stick.

We are working really hard on making the possible issues as clear, concise and visible as possible. In the mean time, please be patient - thanks!
