Are chess.com's servers always restarted on Friday a.m. ?

Post by Gordon Morse » Fri Apr 10, 2020 11:10 am

For the second week in a row chess.com's servers were restarted at 11 o'clock today (Friday) which is obviously some time during the night in the USA (I am assuming that it's an American site).

I was able to fit in a 10 minute game today, which was a bit too quick, but I sort of ignored the warning last week and the site and my game disappeared, which probably saved me from a loss.

Does anyone know whether this is a regular, weekly event? If so, my opponent and I will switch to another day. We usually play OTB every Friday in 'normal times'.

I would check the chess.com site to try to find this out but it's down!
I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.
