CCC Shutting Down On 29th Feb

In 10 days, CCC is going to be shut down. I suspect there's still a lot to be done in regards to setting up the new server.

If it cannot be done in time, might be time to start promoting this forum!

We are working on it.

The message from Quentin comes as a surprise as he has repeatedly said he had paid his provider in advance for 2 years.

Hallo Ed, I think we are all starting to be a little worried because not even HGM seems to know if there are any plans for this. The forum going on black is not such a big deal if it can be restarted some day. But "We are working on it" is a bit vague as most people have no clue who is "We" right now even? Is there anything we can do?

No worries, I talked to Quentin.

At time of writing, talkchess is down. I suppose downtime is needed to get the final posts onto the new server.

While awaiting it's return, you can have a go at HGM's chess applet at https://www.talkchess.com/ . I found it to be great fun! I beat it at level "ply 2.5". Those of you who are good at chess will probably need to play it at a higher level.

Note the chat button.

Played one game against the applet, had a total won position soon, but at some moment became aware my king was captured

At time of writing, I am unable to log on to Talkchess with my Talkchess credentials.

Same here, can't login,tomorrow is another day.

Same here.

I can read but cannot login with my old passward.
Not sure if I need to register again to be able to post and did not try it.

Reported it, the usual glitches, let's be patient.

You need to delete the Talkchess cookie from your browser to get access.

I am happy with the solution found.
