It has gone down several times (it >can't be pinged or anything). In general, are long term connections to an ISP a major problem with the current state of the technology? I get the impression that FICS works because the connection time to complete a game is generally less than 30 min total. The Internet tournaments that have recently started are using more conventional time controls and the connection time to complete a game is measured in hours, not minutes. I think, the problem should be worked out, rather than generate the frustation that is happening now. There were a few published problems with games in the Club Kasparov tournament and now the same problem in the Xie Jun match. The Linares problems are the same, but only the viewer is affected, not the players. Steve
