Features & Updates - June 25th, 2008

You're having a heart attack.


Yeah, but you post in so many topics, do you REALLY want a list of all those?? ;-)

Today we brought the site down for a long time (so sorry - took 5x longer than expected :( ) so we could do some major optimizations. What did we do?
95% of what we did was massive database re-architecture updates to improve queries on forums and other high-traffic pages. This should help Chess.com be faster, and most importantly, make Live Chess smoother.
We also fixes a bunch of misc small stuff like links, mispellings, etc.
Sorry for being down for so long! It was really stressful for all of us :)
We have added 2 hours to everyone's game clocks.
Enjoy!
