Over-the-board database with 10 million human chess games. The largest FIDE/OTB chess database collection.

Since 2004, Opening Master has been a leading publisher of premium chess databases. Their dedication to the growth and learning of the chess community has now led to a significant collaboration with the International Chess Federation Education Commission, . This partnership aims to support global projects focused on promoting chess as an educational tool. Launched a year ago, the project has already awarded hundreds of newly certified teachers free access to this great tool.

Through this collaboration, Opening Master has made its premium chess databases accessible to future chess teachers globally, whether they are in Slovakia, the USA, Nigeria, Brazil or India. Chess does not have state boundaries and does not know race, gender or political views. This initiative is a major step towards integrating chess into educational curriculums worldwide. By providing these resources at no cost, Opening Master and FIDE ensure that aspiring chess educators have the tools they need to teach the game effectively and inspire the next generation of players.

Opening Master’s OTB collection, totalling 9.99 million official human chess games, is the greatest collection of chess games available. This vast database is an invaluable resource for players of all levels. It allows them to study games from various eras, understand different styles, and gain insights from the play of top grandmasters.

The partnership between Opening Master and FIDE EDU is a commitment to the growth of chess as both a competitive sport and an educational tool. By supporting global projects aimed at promoting chess in schools and educational institutions, they are ensuring that more people have the opportunity to experience the many benefits of this timeless game.

The positive effects of using chess databases are profound, and the recent collaboration between Opening Master and FIDE is set to significantly impact chess education. By making these resources freely available to future chess teachers who obtain the title of FIDE School Instructor, they are paving the way for a brighter future where chess is more accessible and inclusive. The enduring appeal of chess, combined with the thrill of OTB play, ensures that the game will continue inspiring and challenging players for generations to come.
