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.

However in order to still document the largest quality collection, we decided to keep the OM GOLEM its good place on the shelf.

WE ARE NOW REBORN AGAIN.
