    Sad day, we need to hold some kind of memorial service 😉

    At least it all moved over smoothly, was redirected to dailychess, logged in and all the nice green colors remained.
    “Daily Chess” is now my site-skin of choice as my beloved “Immortal Game” has been decommissioned.

    But you can still choose the PlayTheImmortalGame colors? Why not continue to do so?

    I set up the chess at work theme on mine. Very easy to do following the u-tube demo Russ put up. Now everyone, if I can do this you can ALL do it! 😉

    I can!? I wasn’t aware, thought it was being retired.

    The domain name is retired, so you can no longer play at http://www.playtheimmortalgame.com

    BUT the color scheme lives on as a selectable theme - called "The Immortal Game".

    See video YouTube.

    So, playing on DailyChess.com (or RedHotPawn.com!) is possible with the colors (theme) that was previously used on playtheimmortalgame.com.

    So the game wasn't immortal after all.

    That brand came from the very nice book, "The Immortal Game" (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Immortal-Game-History-Chess/dp/B002SQ961S) when we did a little promotion with the publisher at the time.

    Not immortal, but it had a long and happy life.

    Thanks Russ.

    And thank you for scheduling some time to create divegeester’s forum search facility. It is or should I say, will be, greatly appreciated.
