This is probably THE biggest even in history of Opening Master. Ever since we started our collection back in 2004 we had dreamt of largest human chess collection. Not just computer generated games. But quality collection where chess players could benefit from the statistics of open positions and games. Where chess players would download in one since piece the entire human chess of the world.
The summer is almost over and we are in front of the autumn doors. Just recently we were watching probably the most prestigious and important chess tournament - Sinquefield Cup 2015 in St.Luis, USA. Nakamura went up 2 places and Anand 2 down. Well, chess is a game after all. Our co-founder Dr.Jan Helbich, SIM went to Cardiff, Wales to represent Slovakia on ICCF world congress and worked on new September release of OM OTB. Wow, August was a busy month.
July and August are two months of the year when Earth (or western part of it) slows down. The heat wave comes to us and hit us to the face. The outside temperature is increasing to the levels where it is no longer possible chill out. Aircondition inside and swimming outside are two possibilities. Or moving to the polar circle.
Opening Master is proud to publish new release of its OM Correspondence chess database with 1,573,419 games. This month we focused on quality increase.
We have important announcement to make. We just released the new version of OM OTB Database - April 2015 version. Bigger, better and stronger. With 7 561 818 unique human over-the-board games, we have again topped ourselves and proved to be the strongest player on chess database market. I would like to invite all chess database lovers to come and test it.
Dear chess users,
we are pleased to announce we reached important milestone. The OM GOLEM the largest human chess database contains now 10,015,200 human games. It is the largest known human chess database with great quality. The OM GOLEM started its historical path back in 2011. Before this date we had only one database. Back in those days we split the large OM XXL into OM OTB and OM CORR and OM PORTAL. However in order to still document the largest quality collection, we decided to keep the OM GOLEM its good place on the shelf.
We have important announcement to make. We just released the new version of OM OTB Database. Bigger, better and stronger. With 6,718,376 unique human games we have again topped ourselves and proved to be the strongest player on chess database market. I would like to invite all chess database lovers to come and test it. Those already subscribed to our services have it in the cloud folders OM Platinum, OM Blue and OM Bronze packs.
Dear Chess Database lovers,
we have come a long way. Since 2004 we were building one of the strongest chess databases on our planet. We succeeded many times. We learned difficult ways and got stronger and better. As some of you know, our founder and main creator Alexander Horvath, ICCF SIM, passed away unexpectedly last year and left unfinished business. He had one unfinished GM tournament. Perhaps to get his final GM title. The dream he took with him. But he did fulfill one dream - The business how to create perfect chess database. For OTB players and CORR players. WE ARE NOW REBORN AGAIN.
WE ARE HAPPY to announce the new version of OM OTB is finally here. It took us some time to consolidate new games which took place during winter time and January. All Platinum members have already the ready files in the folders. The new number is 6.623.943
