TransWarp is back online after a brief, well if you call 2 weeks brief when it's been online over 380 days total. It has given up 2 draws to Goldmund and 1 to Snooker. I've had to turn on noescape due to people disconnecting and doing evaluation. If they use their own minds or their own computer, I don't know. But this has been an ongoing thing whenever I turned noescape off, to get more players.
Also, there have been certain people who start a game, then refuse to finish it. This is quite annoying as you have challenges sent to them, they decline, and one in particular, goes and plays another computer. Go figure.
I am quite looking forward to the new release of Rybka 3.0 and testing it's ability to avoid blockade situations. Of course those who relied on this by playing the same moves over and over will be removed from noplay list. Hopefully, this will allow e4 to be played more often in the openings, as that move is the most taken to blockade...you would think d4, but due to Rybka's play, 1.e4 is most led to blockade. Which reminds me to update books, since TW was offline, old settings came back.
Here's a couple of recent games: one by GM Rustemov (Goldmund) and one by IM Damian Lemos (Blitz-King)

RE: FTC Blogger Compensation Endorsement Rule Dec 01, 2009
While TransWarp Chess does get compensation for banner ads from Google Adsense, Google Affiliate Program, Commission Junction Affiliate Program and Allposters.com. TransWarp Chess does try not to personally Endorse any specific product, while I the blogger may like the idea of certain products and services, it is up to you, the reader to decide if a product deserves to be looked at via the ads. I comment on chess and computer chess, this blog is NOT about the products that are featured in the ads. At any rate, to date TransWarp Chess' blog and the small sister blog Paranormal Questions, has in it's account $1.59 from Google Adsense, no distribution of funds until $50.00, $0.00 from Google Affiliate Program and $0.00 from CJ Affiliate Program, $5.74 in holding at Allposters.com until $25.00 is reached in commissions. All this well over a year of blogging, I guess some abuse the blogging system to the point that this rule was made, I hope this satisfies the FTC regulation, as to what I heard on the site, it sounded like if the blog itself was dedicated to a specific product/s. But best to be safe.
