@acangiano @BanknoteExpress @chesscom Lichess is a much better (and cleaner) piece of code than chess com, it's not even close. And AWS/GCP/etc solved "traffic problem" (aka scaling) like 5 years ago. Seems like chess com forgot that the most essential part of any system is the backend, not the shiny frontend.

@chesscom maybe it will be better to go into cloud? AWS will help you scale and bring the cost down. :)

@ChessingtonBuzz Which is also terrible 😂 Our 3 year old daughter’s favourite rides are those which she calls the “up down” rides, and out of all of the versions at all of the parks, High Striker is the one that has the most issues.

@chesscoachandra Good, but the guy seems to think you being an IM is down to playing strength. Does he realise there are IMs stronger than GMs? The FIDE system has never been very good, IMO.

@ChessyHour It’s football Twitter only the outrageous or sublime takes get any traction.
Tammy was good (at points) but largely not good enough to hold down the lone ST role on a permanent basis.

More broadly, this is the HARD problem of authenticating things in a partially synthetic world. See the Hans Niemann/Magnus Carlsen #chess controversy. It can be almost impossible to know a priori whether something is human-made.
