Good. :) Absolutely no disconnections so far.
Live Chess - Less lag, better connection?
If it reconnects, and it does about onces in 3 hours with my connection, you can just go on like nothing happened. Thats realy an advantage!
I played a couple of games, it felt good, felt fast. For me, disconnections are a rarity anyways, so I didn't notice anything there.
Live Chess is so much faster, making it easier to watch other games, chat with an opponent, and view Challenges. The fonts are much nicer in main chat, which also is working without lag. It's helpful that clicking on Players, Games, Stats, or Settings now brings up a new browser window, eliminating the exit from and re-entry to Live Chess. No disconnections, though one opponent d/c'd but I think he ran.
Great progress overall. Here's a toast to long-term stability!
Down the road wish-list: a Tourney tab for Live Blitz tournaments, with individual and team formats.
Thanks for improving Chess.com.
anyone else? c'mon - i need feedback! anyone who used to have problems on live chess... give it a try?
The mod tools are much more responsive, and the stability of the connection seems to have improved tenfold. I have personally had no problems with it whatsoever:)
Thanks for all of you and the staff's hard work at revamping live!
It's faster :D
I did get disconnected the minute I was going to do the survey the first time, but nothing is ever 100% perfect.
Overall its pretty awesome!
Thanks for all the hard work you guys do for livechess. I know ppl aren't aware of all of the behind the scenes action it takes to get everything done.
Have a great day.
Reliable and smooth. Though if I bump up my toast.net accelerator all the way it will not let me load Live Chess. I have to keep it at medium acceleration.
Of course my dialup is running at 26KiloBitesPerSec. Download speed is 30KiloBitesPerSec

Hello!
Today we made a really important change to live chess. You won't SEE anything different, but does it feel faster? Do you notice less lag, fewer disconnects, etc?
I'm really anxious to get your feedback - especially from people who have had problems with Live Chess in the past.
Thanks!
