The Week in Chess

John Moore · Post by **John Moore** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 8:01 am

Anyone know what's happened to TWIC (The Week in Chess). I have checked over the last day or two. At first, it showed the account as suspended and now it just gives a links page. Or is it my PC playing tricks.

I think its AI taking over. Since when was there ever a week in chess ever worth thinking about.

I know from Mark's Twitter account that he's been experiencing problems and that promises to fix them haven't been fulfilled.

Mark's updating as Justin says via twitter

Hope he gets it fixed soon

ha ha, nice reposte, but seriously. Life has more to offer than a board game. I love chess to death but still...

I take note of your points, yes I am saddled with hyper mania for life and until you reach the 4 days or 6 days no sleep mark, I don't feel it and I am nearly 50. It's not easy but the bottom line is I love chess, no need to personalize things is there?

Justin, you need to define what a condition is, if that is what you are referring to.

I sincerely hope you guys aren't playing a game of 'let's give Mark the heebeegeebees of making him think we go to his website'. I hate being read -yes I know that's a real mind f-word to follow-. I only write for myself even though the content is broad...okay I'll content the administrator outlawing this... .

To MJMcCready
Mark is the person who runs TWIC. I don't think they mean you when they made reference to Mark's Twitter account.

Oh, I'm glad of that explanation Ihor! I couldn't understand the thread at all unless "Mark Crowther" was just a pseudonym for Mr McCready.

TWIC is back up and running - with an apology for the three and a half days of downtime.

Thanks John for letting us know

TWIC seems to be down again? I get the following:

Not Found
The requested URL /suspended.page/disabled.cgi/www.markcrowther.com was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Mark was expecting it back earlier, but at any rate he's not happy.

It’s pretty easy to sort with something like a Linode VPS depends how techy Mark is?
