Looks like someone hooked the domain or did not pay the bill. (Could be a possible redirect.)

I suspect that someone has parked that domain and they will not be getting that name back.

From your name I can assume you would be a great admin. Please buy! It is for sale only $7,500.

I got this message 2 days ago, odd...
I therefore assume it's only temporarily.

The $7,500 page does not mention the URL for sale.

Sure, donate me the funds and I will provide you the service! :-) I can assume you will donate correct, since we are making assumptions. lol

I tried to buy the domain. And this is the message I got. So most likely an other issue is going on with the site.
"talkchess.com is not for sale right now. But we can still help you get this domain name!"

Exactly! That is why assuming is for assholes.
And great picture BTW. I wish I looked that good!

Did Robert Houdart and Norman Schmidt convince ChessUSA to shut down talkchess to destroy the evidence that Houdini and Fire are illegal Stockfish clones?

I'm afraid in the end we got what we paid for over at talkchess. Let's hope this forum really takes off.
It would be a shame if all the old posts were lost as well.

I guess HGM continued SHID and now he was successful in his campaign again and shut down Talkchess.
What a pity, isn’t it ;-)
