I was just able to successfully login to the Live Chess. I recommend that you try again as it may have temporarily been down. In any case which web browser are you using? We recommend that you use the Firefox 3 web browser for the Live Chess if you are not doing so already. Please take a look at http://www.chess.com/livechess/myhome.html for more information on this.
getting on live chess

I can't get on as well. I get 'logged in' successfully, but all that appears are the usual fixtures but no games occuring, as if nobody is online.
It is if it's a ghost server or something.

Hi, my old problem turned out OK, but now I've got a new one. In a weird twist of irony I seem to be getting the same problem as the origianl poster, I click on the link to Live Chess -- yet all that appears is the blank greenish background and nothing else.
BTW, I do have Mozilla Firefox 3.

I was just able to get into the Live Chess. Maybe try again? Also, I recommend that you try going to "Tools" in Firefox and then "Clear All Private Data" and then try logging back into the Live Chess.
i have been playing live chess and everything has been fine, but now when i try to log on it just shows the live chess background and does not log me on. this sucks can anyone help?
