chat thread (to avoid the roundabout way to get to notes)...

why do i get 30 second video advert for twitch whenever i refresh my browser in chesstv?

$$$.

so, when they say "no ads" for diamond members, they don't actually mean no ads. Just not a certain kind of ad...

Has Chess.com an investmemt or arrangement of some kind with Twitch? 

not sure... AIUI, it is owned by Amazon, so not sure how likely it would be to have an investment there.

I closed my twitch account when i discovered they were owned by Amazon. The day they mis-sold me my camera and absolved themselves of any responsibility was the day Amazon landed on my 'never again' list...

Nothing to see here... literally.

Yet another LOSS for me.  System said I abandoned the game.

your move looks to have reached the server...

and alerts not cancelling once attended to... ugh...

Yeah, and for a while, I thought he was just running out the clock... only then when it sat at 0:00 did I realize something was amiss.  As soon as I tried to Refresh my screen --- BOOM!! You Lost!!  Game Abandoned.  🤷‍♂️😞
