What's here? My comments about chess and my pdf booklets on players and tournaments. PLUS links to sites about chess history, scholastic help, chess books (on line and downloadable), places to play chess online (real time and correspondence), Soviet chess sites, chess instruction, recommended books, chess engines, endgame databases and other really great Blogs. You will find posts about chess engines, well-known and not-so-well-known historical figures, great games and a lot of other things about chess that I have found interesting or informative. There are also posts on improvement containing subject matters like pattern recognition and how chess masters think. Most improvement advice has been gleaned from the masters themselves and psychological studies which have attempted to understand the thought process of chess masters. Be sure to take time to browse the whole Blog for interesting material. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Queen Alice Boogered Up Again?!

I did a recent post about this excellent CC site's server problems where the site owner had to cancel everybody's active games due to the database getting corrupted.  Unfortunately there seems to be more problems.  A few days ago I tried to sign on and couldn't.  Sometime later I managed to sign on OK, but yesterday and today it took a long time for the site to load.  At one point I gave up waiting and returned for another try a few hours later.  The site loaded but it took a long time and when trying to navigate the site it was moving at a snail's pace.

I don't know what's happening, but whatever it is, it's unfortunate because it was such a great site.  In the meantime it's probably best to avoid playing there.  I'd hate to start a tournament until I'm sure things are back to normal.
