ECF Online County Championship

[Jon Underwood]

I would think the arbiters are going to have their work cut out. Several games already started.

I have sent my players adjournment envelopes.

This is no different from a DS triggered fire alarm.

[John Reyes]

START OF PLAY POSTPONED TO 7:10pm due to chess.com server reboot at 7pm.


Any games started should be agreed drawn and aborted. Start again at 7:10pm
Thank you
Mark

Oh my - one of my players offered draw and aborted ..board 1 oppo declined ..now reboot been and gone and clock running for my board 1
Game now continuing.. some are on server ..I am locked out !

[Jon Underwood]

Now people asking me what to do when their game was disconnected after half an hour.

[KMcCarthy]

And now several cannot get back on ...6-6 and a swift half at the pub Mr Underwood ?

[Jon Underwood]

That would be my feeling. Anyone who wants to play should be allowed to continue I guess. I don't know.

[KMcCarthy]

I have 3 back online out of 12

[Jon Underwood]

It ain't happening, is it?

[Nick Burrows]

Absoloute CHAOS as server closes down 40 mins in to the game

[David Sedgwick]

Kevin and John, please let me know if you want to agree a 6-6 draw and I shall get back to you.

[MartinCarpenter]

Do they really run their whole operation off one server with no redundancy?

Hope the competition survives this.

[Jon Underwood]

I do too as I appreciate a lot of work has gone into this, but it will reinforce the view that the internet is for blitz.

[KMcCarthy]

Thanks all for efforts ...going to sac a piece in every round of the blitz i have just set up for them !

[David Sedgwick]

For the benefit of anyone still locked out, the round has been officially aborted.
