TransWarp back online

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)
