Hello,

The Frank engine seems to have only moved within the same page:

http://e4e6.altervista.org/download.php

I can't get to the Aristarch page however. Is it gone for a longer time already ?

Hi Michael,

I use this page for Aristarch:
http://www.zipproth.de/chess/download.htm
At the moment the website is up.

My automated system flags sites that are down but does not inform me that sites have moved within the same domain.

Thank you very much for your information!

Best regards,
Ron

Hi Ron,

Very starnge I can get to Aristarchs page using an anonymous proxy.
Thanks !
