Saturday, Jan 25: Our server is hosted in the Frankfurt datacentre of Verio,
which is currently under attack. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dear Customer,

At around 6am GMT (7am CET), the Verio NOC became aware of loss of

connectivity to the datacentres, due to what appears to be a Distributed Denial
of Service Attack on both facilities. The Verio NOC (Network Operations Centre)
are attempting to block the attack by filtering packets on the backbone. We
appreciate your patience while we work through this issue.

Kind Regards,

Bob

Verio Tech. Support



We apologize, the server seems currently down.

Please try again later,

Thank you very much.

Wir bitten um Entschuldigung, der Schachserver nimmt derzeit keine Verbindungen
an.

Es läuft kein Backupserver.

Bitte versuchen Sie es später noch einmal.

Vielen Dank.
