I was in the Phish vs. phans chess.com match on NYE. I was wondering how this is handled. Fascinating! Thanks for sharing.

I was also there, and when it wasn't working at first I assumed the DB was totally overloaded. Glad you got it working in the end!

The team had to selectively throttle access to that one game and change things around to get through the overload.

I'm trying to pun "paged" with "Phish" and it doesn't work.

But ops was definitely on deck, on the holiday.

It's worse than that. They bailed on voting and had a human watching the chat for audience moves.

Glad you liked it :)
