Temporary Outage - we are working with [Chess.com](http://Chess.com) to resolve.

[Chess.com](http://Chess.com)’s site is unresponsive for the smart board API. We are aware of the problem and working on it.

Sorry for the temporary outage.

Thanks for the information @Jeff, was wondering why I wasn’t able to play a bot a few hours ago, that’s probably why
