#Opening explorer fails to load in correspondence games
17 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I am getting the same iOS behavior.
we're changing something with how the opening explorer works
should be ok again soon
(next few days)
Same on android
Analysing after a game, opening the opening explorer database does not work properly
Using the new lichess app
See above
How many "few more days" until the api rate limit issue is fixed?
Thanks for the update! Although... I really wonder if it was indeed an attack or was it an affect due to the increasing popularity of free/public opening repertoire builders . I know of 3 that are growing fast: qchess.net, chessline and openeningbuilder.com. they all use openening explorer endpoint and will show as the residential ip of the user. Imagine if there are 100s of users on these sites/apps at once. Wouldn't that look like an "attack"?
It was an attack, as explained in the blog post
All im saying is Ddos attacks require a loooot of effort and resources. What would one hope to achieve by t3mporarily disrupting one small feature on a free chess website? Its not like it brought the whole server down or there was some financial target. It Just doesn't add up.
You're welcome to your opinion of course
