As far as I can tell, the problem is that there isn't anyone to play with.

The Blitz is a Problem. If you really want to play make an Appointment with somebody...

The server is back up again - but a word of warning - this feature is likely to be removed altogether soon, before a full replacement is developed.

Blitz appears to be working at this moment. I clicked the link and there was one game in progress. I was surprised as it is usually empty there.

What link?

Is it available to non-subscribers?

The link I used is on the top right area of the page, just to the right of "Tables".
This is on a laptop. I don't use other devices so can't help with those.
As far as I know it is available to all members of the site.
99 percent of the time it is empty when I click the link.

As someone has suggested, if you want to play a blitz game with someone, set up a time to meet there and it should work.

Good Luck!

There is no icon to click on on my PC. Nor is there one on my android phone.

The top line of the page has menu selections. From left to right they are: my games, new game, open invites, players, view games, etc. etc. The last one on the right is "Blitz". None of these are icons, just text links. Going further to the right there are icons for notifications, messages, games waiting, and finally the last thing there is your log-on avatar/icon.

This is on my laptop (hp) running windows 7. With the page on 'full screen'. If you make it into a partial window the 'blitz' link may go away from view until you go back to full screen.

But if you do not have that on your pc at all I don't know what the problem might be.

Here is a screen shot of what I am talking about on my computer.
