Yeah... this is a really nutty series of events. We will probably blog about it. But it had nothing to do with connection settings.
Live chess crashed...

Wish I had been there, gambit, to see what you "said" at the time, and I am sure the mirth on the chat was great.
Embarassing for the management at this time,but in general, my issues are with the fact of V3, and its difficulty to navigate, not commection issue.
I do not play all that often in live, but it has never gone down under V3 for me, to give them credit.
I had a pretty cluey guy install my computer a few years ago, and it does not give me serious issues.
...just as Titled Tuesday was getting under way. Players included Magnus, Hikaru, MVL... how embarrassing.
But this, in the chat box of live chess, is this a joke?
