Titled tuesday no longer able to observe games

Sort:
Minortone

For som reason chess.com has removed the ability for users the observe the live games on Titled Tuesday. The usual procedure is u click on a player whose game is in progress and then on the red watch button and so u can follow the game, this still works fine ....until "Titled Tuesday" starts and then they lock this function until titled tuesday is over and then all works fine again. This has been so through the last 3 weeks. Its such a shame "Titled Tuesday" has become such a major event with all the elite players fighting for first place and i so looked forward to tuesdays. And now its all gone. The only option is to find a streamer but honestly its not the same thing u can only see his games , no evo-bar and all the irritating pre-moves. I hope this is just a temporary occurrence or a unnoticed bug and things will revert the the normal.

Still not working. Is this a permanent "fix"?? Seems broken to me.

To see TT games you have to go to “ watch” and then click titled cup to see the games.

I believe they discovered that when a large number of people watch a game directly (the way the OP was describing) it can cause lag. Or something like that. This system is supposed to fix that.
