Support Chess.com TV

football is the sport to watch

we have problems with our streaming video provider. they aren't providing any customer support. we are looking into other options. our plan is definitely to continue with chess.com/tv as well as chess.com university, and as well as another related new product that is on its way by year's end.

we had even completed preparations for 2 new chess.com/tv weekly segments just when livestream completely gave out, so frustratingly that's all on hold at the moment. we should have a new provider by week's end.

What is the new product coming out by the end of year?

ok, fine, you broke me, i'll tell: live audio lectures with a chess board that viewers can observe rather than video. a chat channel for questions, etc, like with chess.com/tv

Do you mean like a real chessboard? Cause otherwise isn't it like the same thing.

it's basically the same thing as what we've done so far, but it's going to be our own board, and no streaming video, so it will be much cheaper on bandwidth. we'll do a bunch of chess-heavy shows through it; whereas we have other more-talk-less-chess type shows that will continue to use streaming video.

Oh ok, sound good then!

never actually been there, but in that picture it's just - so - pretty!

While the picture may be " - so - pretty!" it is also a doomed building.

    many universities proudly sporting their "ivy covered halls"  have discovered the dirty little secret that is no longer secret.

    The ivy "clings" to the walls by virtue of its tiny little 'hooks' that send tendrils out into the sand/mortar, and bricks, weakening the bonds that hold the morter in place as the tendrils (actually root-type structures) suck nutrients from the sand/mortar and bricks.

    Result:  after 80 years or so of having ivy covering the walls, the walls start crumbling as they have been infiltrated by ivy tendrils - and weakened as the ivy dies off and renews itself  - and the tendrils seek other routes into the nooks and crevices between sand grains.

lovely picture, but the building is doomed due to the lovely ivy.

thought you might appreciate the ivy differently after reading that.

i enjoy the picture just as much, despite the interesting info about ivy... even if the building comes down, we've got this pretty pic to look at :)

ja ne! :)
