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.

Dear Chess Database lovers,

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.
