Tempest is moving!

Tempest will return shortly. Some down time is required while the server is transferred to a new host.

1/22 Status update: DNS propagation is complete. You are viewing this page from the new server.

1/26 Status update: Finalizing some features and fixing glitches. Look for Tempest to return next week!

Q: Why has the server been down for so long?

A: Tempest outgrew its old server, and since the updated version was nearing completion, it didn't make sense to continue maintaining it. The new server will have an emphasis on stability.

Q: Will I have to create a new account?

A: No. Your account and game history will be preserved. The ratings will be reset to accomodate a new ratings formula, but your game count will not change.

Q: What happened to the forums?

A: The old forums were operated by a community member and were closed at his discretion. A new forum will be hosted on tempestchess.com shortly after the server move is finished.

Q: Will _ be fixed? Does _ work better?

A: Probably.

Q: What's taking so long?
