This month we are presenting our new addition - OM TOP CORR 2015.CTG. A library, which holds games of top correspondence players with ELO higher than 2300 for last 5 years. You know better the theory these days evolves fast and furious. If you want to be successful at correspondence game, you have to try to reach advantage already at the opening. Otherwise it is proven very difficult to win against a player who also uses strong computer chess programs.
The phases of chess games have been already set long time ago. The endgames, no dispute, have been elaborated by many authors on sevaral examples (e.g. J.Averbach: Chess Endgames) or others. One of the first pioneers who began to examine the deterministic approach of the endgames, how games finish, how to reach the goal in the quickest time was Eugen Nalimov. At the beginning he analyzed 3-4-5 pieces board and later on added the 6 pieces (-6 men including the kings).
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.
Dear chess players. Just a quick note. We attended the annual ICCF congress held in Australia this year. The venue for this event was at ParkRoyal Hotel in Parramatta abour 20 km from Sydney. It took place 11-18 October 2014. Our core member Jan Helbich received awards for Slovakian chess players and met ICCF members and other members from other federations.

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
