I use tor browser to pass local fire walls here. Then You will get Austrailian identity probably. Relax chess is far from that now, mainly due to the location, but I would like to get more responses about playing againt relaxchess engine. And password to unpack executable is burak2020 , link you can find earlier.

Can you recheck now? Looks like I can connect now without using a VPN nor tor since 5 days ago.
I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

That’s why I say: let’s move the whole thing to Europe.
We don’t even know how many people are blocked because not all people complain here.

Thanks. IMO this situation is not bearable. We need all computerchess enthusiasts and programmers. Not only those coming from the west.

Have you tried using a VPN?.....you can hide your identity and dial into a server in a different country that allows you to access this forum? Your original IP address is hidden, replaced by the hosts ip address. Free VPNs are not always as secure often logging client details and browsing habits to sell on to justify cost. ExpressVPN, NordVPN and PrivateInternetAccess are three top VPN service providers.

One easy way to access talkchess from Poland is to download the Opera browser and then enable built-in VPN there.
It still doesn't work using Polish IP unfortunately.
