It's probably you, the chess part works fine

On a serious note: my first guess would be that it might have something to do with javascript if it's only the games:

Did you recently update your browser or install a plugin to block javascript?
If so: there's your answer.
If not: it might be internet connection problems.

My advice would be to first try another browser to see if it makes a difference: (firefox/chrome etc.) After this you might want to try updating java..

my javascript is fine on other sites except this one. i was playing 12 hours ago just fine. what do you mean update java? i thought this site runs on flash. not java

I have the same issue - The loading of the game never completes.  Behavior began today.    Using IE.

No flash, no javascript. You need JRE installed (32-bit on 32-bit browser, or 64-bit on 64-bit one) and doing something about that:

TheHeight, you are not alone.  I just tried to play on live chess and got this as a result:

It hangs on this screen and the little loading square just spins.  It happens to me both in Firefox and Chrome even with all the extensions/add-ons disabled.

Update:  It looks like this only happens to me when I'm using one specific VPN server, otherwise live chess works fine for me.  Strange.

VPN could be taking to long...

Pings at ~270 ms and plenty of bandwidth.  I don't think that is the issue.

This site doesn't have a very good server. Try one that is not browser based.

Avatar of Glorfindel_1

try one what?
