A big update everyone was waiting for. We have been working hard for past half year and collected most of the online human games above 2000 ELO and inserted them into our OM PORTAL which is part of OM GOLEM. So all together we have come up with 29,390,692 human games without duplicates making it the largest human chess database on Earth.
Everyday play tactics. The most important action you can take to get better your game is start playing tactics. You don’t need to spend the whole hour on it. Spend 15-20 minutes a day is totally enough. What are the top 10 actions we recommend to improve your chess?
Dear Chess players, we have come into conclusion that it would be the best to focus on three best selling and most downloaded chess databases. The OM CORR - used by all correspondence chess players, the OM OTB used by mostly FIDE players (but many ICCF players download it too) and OM GOLEM the world's largest human chess database for collectors.
Team Opening Master wishes you very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. If we can revisit the entire year it's been a crazy ride. We did a lot of cleaning in the house, improving the indexing and increasing some valuable games.
Let’s start with the definition of Chess. It is a 64 square board game with two players on opposite sides playing strategically against themselves. Important is to mention “strategically”. Although it is said that the game originated from India, chess is now an exciting worldwide game and players seek whatever they can to advance and to become Grand Master and win world titles. Is the journey long, who is predetermined to dominate the chess game and who will never pass 2000 ELO? We are going to focus from one single point of you – do chess databases help the player or they are counter productive?
With millions of searchable chess games on the chess database, it is a no-brainer why you need to use a quality chess database when getting ready for that big chess game tournament or even a small event.
If you turn on World Chess tournament (any), you can listen to the hosts speaking hours and hours of information, such as statistics, plays, who made what plays, what play was ran during which game, etc. To someone who is not interested in chess, or who doesn’t play chess, this information might seem irrelevant or pointless. But to someone who is genuinely invested in the games, then this information can prove to be extremely valuable in understanding how the game is played.
