Great news! Thanks Martin, I have been watching again with great interest. However, why does the site take so long to load, sometimes several minutes?

For Chatwing you need to provide a valid e-mail account. I think it is the least intrusive option to use.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

You can register an account at www.chatwing.com and login to the chat with that.

They only require 2 things from you:

1: Username
2: Password

This should now be fixed. Please try to reload a few times and let me know if it has improved for you.

Yes seems to load much faster. I don't know if Komodo can repeat its win against SF in the last superfinal. SF seems to have improved in every area ... tactically, positionally and of course phenomenal endgame play! The speed at which SF sees stuff is just incredible!
