Gila for tourneys

Looks like people are hungry for chess tourneys with the surge in traffic I am seeing. This level of traffic has never been seen except during the DATMO events.

That’s good news for Malaysian tournament organisers as the interest in tournaments is at an all time high. The only problem may be finding dates to have the tournaments!

My problem will be handling the expected “overloaded CPU violation” email from my webhost, Exabyte which I am surprised I have not received yet.

There is so many tournaments I am sure missed a bunch of them the weeks I was holidaying. So to tournament organisers, please resend your email to me if I missed your tournament.

Down boy down!

With great restraint I managed to reduce my postings on this blog (a couple of food pictures got sacrificed). Ordinarily you’d be happy to get a ton of traffic on your blog.

However,Exabyte, my webhost is never happy when I overload their CPU, often sending warning emails that they will suspend my website temporarily until I “correct” the traffic surge.

So it has been successful, traffic has dropped to below 200 yesterday.

However, it’s worrying  that the  main website, gilachess.com is in danger of overloading with a new traffic surge

I think it is because after the big tournaments are over (Melaka & Brunei tourney), chess enthusiasts are now looking forward to playing in the regular local weekend tournaments.

Do me a favour and only visit GilaChess.com once a day if you can and not hit it repeatedly. Or better yet just check chess-malaysia first to see if there is any tournament updates from the other blogs.
