the Good News: live chess is stable. games no longer disconnect (well, not OUR fault, sometimes users do). friends list has returned. private chat coming next week. live is doing very very well!

the Bad News: we need to reset games/stats again (but we will NOT change ratings).

i'll send you a message reminder, but just wanted to give everyone a heads up that we will wipe stats one more time - probably thursday.

Thanks for the update Erik :-)

Yes, thanks.  Been looking forward to the completed new system!

Thank you for that warning :)

Sounds good.

Sounds good!  Keep up the good work Erik.

Sounds good.

Good news sounds very good! Lets hope they are stable! (When is the update or has it already happened?)

and I will go on and check it when/if theres an update!

Congrats for everyting. You are doing your job well.

Great, then we can have fun !!! Thank you!!!

What will it be called? Live 3?

live is becoming very good, and the quality of the players at the top is gradually improving i think - a good sign.  a minor glitch i noticed is that games longer than 300 (?) moves don't show up in the archive. (had a 318 and 482 move game, draw and loss respectively, fortress type positions, that's why the games so long) against comp-3, 2-1 time controls this evening. got and lost the points and result though.

I must say I give it a go too see if it was actually any better, and Live chess is a lot better quality than what it used to be.

Ok

It's called  '  I'M Alive!!!!!!  '

LOL

It's from the movie 'Young Frankinstein'

ok

that would be great!

eric, for private chat, just invite someone in a game DONT ABORT because it wont bve private, and then you can chat on the game!
