Dear chess friends,
we are publishing the new OM OTB version with 8,196,295 games. As always carefully selected from various championships and tournaments. An increase of 150K games since the last release.
Just a small update. We have completed semi-annual update of the OM Portal Chess Database with following updates - the files are so huge, that even Chessbase cannot work with them fully so we had to split it into two files. Hope it is ok. And the final number: 18 288 579 games.
Dear Chess users,
just few lines from sunny California. We have been working on the latest release of OM CORR and added 17K new games totaling 1,693,700 human correspondence chess games. If you are preparing yourself for new Correspondence world championship, Olympics or just a local CORR tournament you might want to get the latest version.
We are proud to announce our new published Over-the-Board chess database OM OTB increased by 91K and moved its bar over 8 million games. (8,044,244 games). Some players consider this chess database as the strongest ever built partly because it has good size and partly because it collects over-the-board games.
We are pleased to introduce new update from our chess analysts. The OM CORR has been updated and increased by 50,000 games for the last update period. Total number of human chess correspondence games represented until January 18 is 1 676 887.
Happy New year 2017. All the best to you and your chess games, lots of winning tournaments and of course good health (without that we don't have anything). We have prepared a nice package for you. OM OTB increased 100K games (yes 100,000 games)!

Isn't this excited? The longest stalemate for period of more than 20 years. Sergey Karjakin (RUS) plays against Magnus Carlsen (NOR) and it is never ending story. The first 7 matches out of 12 ended in 7 consecutive draws. After 12 matches, the score was 6:6 and both players went to Rapid games. Forget about football, cricket or ice hockey, the whole world is now watching chess. It is east battling the west again like it was during the Cold war in Reykjavik, Iceland. The defending champion since 2013, Magnus Carlsen however doesn't have it easy.
Dear Chess friends,
we have an important announcement to make. After 6 years of using cloud services of our vendor SugarSync we decided it is time to move on to better, faster and more reliable. We have heard many unpleasant stories about slow downloading, breaks, corrupted files etc and contacted number of times the help desk of SugarSync. Their response was always like it is the users issue, they have slow internet or provider is blocking their services and other B.S. Despite numerous attempts to show them comparison of other services they were unable to help us. So it is time to move on. We have found better, faster, more reliable service to you. It is called Sync.com.
We are proud to present the worldwide agreement with ICCF about providing 50% discount to all ICCF valid members. Chess users can claim this discount via using special promo code received in their newsletters. If you missed the ICCF email, the copy is provided here. Please use this one time offer until December 31,2016.
