TWIC Lives
If you're like me and check TWIC every nine minutes, you may have noticed that you get an error from your usual bookmark, www.chesscenter.com/twic/twic.html. They are moving servers and have experienced some glitches that have nothing to do with too many pints at the pub. TWIC is still up and running here: http://chess.co.uk/twic/twic.html and the chesscenter.com links will work as soon as they get the redirect working.

Thanks for the good news. I was fearing TWIC's demise.

Posted by: zigormar at November 12, 2007 15:29Just came to the Dirt to post for info about TWIC. I'm relieved that I'm not alone...
Posted by: AXl at November 12, 2007 17:30I just made a redirect for them and uploaded it. Your usual bookmarks will now work but only if they don't include www. They'll have to add a 301 redirect or something else to fix that. Or just wait until the full server propagation goes through.

It's like....
huh?...
now what? Where am I gonna get my games?
We're back at the normal address, at least in the UK, maybe it will take a while to propagate.
We have been moving servers and the transfer to the new one for the chess.co.uk address went smoothly a couple of weeks ago (no-one noticed 8-)) but chesscenter.com encountered a tiny problem which then couldn't be fixed straight away. Anyhow we're back now and it was certainly nice to have a lot of phone calls from some rather famous journalists and a whole boatload of e-mails. Anyhow we shouldn't be moving again for quite a while!

Posted by: lovely at November 13, 2007 17:45Check out kramniks endgame play against shirov - looks like he is winning yet another catalan with white. How does he do it?
Posted by: Andy at November 14, 2007 11:55Kramnik's games have a monumentality that brings to mind Byrne's comment on Fischer:
"He has the ability to overcome the chaotic mess and the complexity of modern chess, the baroque scramble, and isolate a single theme, a single line of development and carry it through."
