Live chess players online: 1014

Login error I received: Sorry, But live chess is only allowing 1000 player @ a time.

Please try again in a few minutes to see if you can get in.

Anyone else see the subtext here?

It'll only take a few minutes to disconnect at least 15 player...

Guys, this is a huge step in the wrong direction for live chess.

Lag is worse, I've been disconnected three times EVER, and they've all been on the new server, and it's VERY glitchy...

 Or, possibly in a few minutes 15 players will finish their games and leave?

It's funny, I've been disconnected 5-10 times from the old server, but never by this one. I don't find lag any worse than previous, and I haven't discovered any glitchiness.

Strange, maybe it's just your computer/region you live in/random bugginess?

Also, please remember this is just a foundation for better things to build off of.

It's kicked me off a bunch.  But I can't wait for Live Chess 3!

I also got disconnects, and other strange behaviour like game results not being registered, out-of-sync timers etc.

I had a few disconnects, but I could never even play on the old version.

lol, it is kind of funny, however, that immediately after I posted this, the server allowed me in... haha

Please bear in mind, what we have now is NOT the permanent solution. Don't think of Live Chess right now as an upgrade from the old one, it really isn't. Think of it like what it is, a completely new version of Live Chess that's never been on the site before. We had to start from scratch, and there's a lot of work that has to go into getting everything right. We won't always have this limit on the server, but its necessary right now till we get everything in place.
