Sometimes it takes forever for that page to load. Is it only me or are others experiencing the same problem?

Just tried it, very slow indeed.

[Martin Thoresen]

Yes there is a known issue that the page stays blank for a long time until it starts to load (that is how I experience it, at least). I am working with Chessdom to sort this problem out.

[Modern Times]

Well it isn't such a problem, just a little patience required.

For me, it's more than sometimes. It's practically always.

I WOULD be happier when it is sorted out!

Especially if your computer is anyway on the rocks, and this combines with other problems and also awkward youtube instabilities etc. And when i leave my computer on i keep getting messages with 2 choices either if i want close the program, or else?

[Lyudmil Tsvetkov]

I think what changes the stakes a bit is that Critter is a very uncomfortable opponent to Komodo, but not to Houdini. Almost any other engine instead of Critter would have been a better choice for Komodo.

So that this changes things a bit.

[M ANSARI]

Actually Komodo just beat Critter by totally outplaying it in a very nice positional masterpiece. Critter is a very tactical engine, but really at this level and with this time control with the hardware used, tactical tricks are hard to push through. It seems that this stage will be won by the engine that gets the most wins against Critter. Houdini and SF have 4 wins so far while Komodo has 3.

With regards to the slow loading of the page, it seems that a lot of the stuff that is loading is not getting cached. I just saw the chessboard take forever to load and if it was cached it should have been instantaneous. Maybe the software needs to be tuned a little.

[Modern Times]

I can't conenct at all now, it times out.

Edit: page has loaded on 2nd attempt, but no board or graphs.
