Immortal 10 - Tournament postponed until 3 June
Immortal 8, January 21.

Entry fee is open!
We have a surprise bonus for the first 100 participants.

Announcement 2
We would like to inform you that we are resigning from inviting the top 10 chess players in the world to the Hall Championship.
After consultation we have found that their financial requirements are unacceptable to us.
The top 100 chess players in the world will be able to play for free or paid online, in both cases out of competition. This means that they do not formally play for prizes, and if they are among the winners, they can only receive a prize if there are no winners from the group of other chess players, conventionally referred to here as ‘the rest of the world’.
Therefore, the tournament in the hall (in Krakow - Poland) will be held without champions and only if there is the required number of participants, a minimum of 300. With a full complement of entrants, they will play in a $10,000 prize supplementary tournament, which will take place before the main tournament.
Please send your applications to contact@goldchess.com , by the end of July.
24-03
Announcement 1
We will invite the world's top 100 chess players to participate. We will invite the top 10, including the 4 world champions, Ding Liren, Carlsen, Anand and Kasparov, plus a few honorable mentions (Hans Niemann, Vidit Gujrathi, Aronian and others) to the hall. We will also invite 10 chess players from each country (online) selected by their national Federations to the championship.
The tournament will be held simultaneously online for an unlimited number of participants, and traditionally in the hall in Krakow (400 seats, registration for the hall can be sent already, by e-mail contact@goldchess.com). All players in the hall will receive a free 2-day hotel stay. They will also play in a $10,000 prize ancillary tournament that will take place before the main tournament.
Registration for the hall is open until 31 July. After this date, registration is possible (as long as there are still places available), but we no longer provide hotel accommodation. The participant will have to organise the stay himself.
A seat will be available at each champion's table. The one who offers the highest amount during the auction will be seated. The bidding will start by email (contact@goldchess.com), once the 4 world champions have confirmed their attendance. We will inform you of this here.
The final will take place the day before the championship, directly in the playing hall.
In addition, the person will be able to play a game with the champion after the championship.
2023-12-30
Due to the planned World Championship, we are suspending the Top tournament until further notice.
Top 131 Last Top tournament. Mate in the 32nd move with sacrifice of the queen. This combination is possible because CEEC does not accept the sacrifice of the knight, maybe it thinks the knight is "poisoned". We show the solution.
2023-09-16
Top124, August 5. Our original solution was sent in by Wojciech. Congratulations. There seemed to be no other way to mate in the 39th move. Solution sent after time, so prize entry fee for next Top tournament.
Top 123, 29 July. We have a dilemma. Damian sent a different variant, and Paul sent an authoritative one, only that it was after time.
As there was not a set of participants, we will treat this as a game and as prizes both receive entry fees to the next Top tournament.
2023-06-17
Top 120, June 17. A brilliant solution. Who will find it? --- We are amazed, no one has sent a solution. Decline or decay of form in participants? See solution.
Top 119. No one has solved.
Top 118, June 3rd. The players didn't understand or didn't read the full content of the task and sent draws in 40 moves. And this is not the correct solution. When downloading the task the full content was shown, a draw in the 41st move - stalemate.
Top 117
We have a winner, Henryk Peszko, an amateur from Poland. Time 9 minutes, he sent a draw in the 40th move, a move earlier than us. This was something we had not anticipated. Our solution was witty and in the 41st move. Ok. As there were not 10 participants, the prize is symbolic, $5. Congratulations.
2023-04-29
Top116, May 20. We played a poor debut and have 2 pawns less. How do we get out of this predicament and win?
Win on the 43rd move.
Our solution is Goldchess-style, very spectacular, but we didn't give conditions, out of curiosity as to whether the players would find them. They didn't. Paul sent the win on move 42, a move earlier, but this is no revelation, as in this continuation we have v37, 5 moves earlier than Paul. In this situation he receives only an honourable mention. In the next Top 117 a remarkable story and game. Please visit
Top116, May 13. No one has solved the task. We are repeating the tournament. Players who are on the list will be allowed to play again.
Top 114
We are sorry to say that no one has sent a correct solution, winning in 6 moves. We show the solution in -Winners.

*Goldchess is a game of equal chances and anyone can win. Look: https://www.goldchess.com/en/other/report/24.html
The match between Carlsen and Nepomniachtchi in the Goldchess version
Game 4. Position after 14 moves. Carlsen's move 15.Qb5, after black's easily predictable reply 15...Qd7 with exchange of queens is not good. Carlsen practically eliminates the attacking power and the white attack itself. Our conception of the game and attack according to Goldchess is different. Our variant is winning in 28th move. In this game we rub shoulders with Capablanca's genius. Everyone who discovers our solution will feel the same. Black surrenders in the 28th move, because after 28... Kh8 there is a threat of 29.Qf7! Here I will add that after 24...Q:a2 black also loses. We will show our variant later.
Report: Armenak's fantastic game. Title: Gold Top Hero. See. Learn how to play from Armenak.
Game 5. The original position after 14 moves. In our case, after 24, we showed 10 solution moves. Win 32.The pawn sacrifice wins the move earlier. Again Armenak, $10 prize. Congrat
Game 6 December 19. Black draw. Goldchess is like Wikipedia. We have built Goldchess, the players will build up a second set of brilliant and unusual games. An example is today's sixth game of the match, lost by black. From the position in the original match game after white's 51st move, we achieved a draw on move 65, Armenak in a much simpler way on move 61. Armenak has a beautiful Talovian mind and although he is only IM in Fide, Nepo could learn a lot from him.
Report - great emotions.
A sensation! Nobody has solved our task, the 2nd game of the match, nobody has found our, winning variant. But we are not surprised. Since it was not discovered by Carlsen himself. Well, yes, but Carlsen the moment he made the idle move 20.Rb1, he no longer had a chance to find this game plan. So see how the second game should have been played from the position after 19 moves to win it with Nepomniachtchi. Tomorrow the third game. You are welcome
Top110 - December 10. Replay of Carlsen Nepo match in Goldchess, game 1st. Feel invited
We changed the 14th move and in the 15th we made an inaccuracy, which black takes advantage of by playing 15...Nb4 and we lose a pawn. But black in the 24th move retaliates by repeating the famous mistake from the 1992 Fischer - Spassky game.
Today one of the best Goldchess players, Lukasz, came back to us. He sent 2 solutions, mate in 32 and win in 35 with fulfilling the conditions, i.e. getting all figures. Alex, our GM as a third player sent a win in 39, but different variant than ours. In the solution mate 32 our computer underestimated the strength of the game and the possibilities of the knight-rook duo.
Top109 - No one solved. The task was mate on the 29th move with the condition - without/no queens. Please read carefully the hidden content of the task, available when downloading the item. Thank you for your participation
Top108 - Only 3 players managed to solve this problem. But the solutions are beautiful. First Arman, 2 solutions, mate 27, time one minute and 23 seconds, second solution mate 29 with pawn, almost 4 minutes. Third Vitaly, but not mat only v24, and later m27 the same one what Arman sent, but he downloaded position after the tournament time. Armenak sent as fourth m27 with sacrifice of queen by.... black. On the other hand no one sent an author's. We'll award Arman and Armenak, both $5. Congratulations, exemplary games. They will go into Goldchess history.
Top107 - Today the players sent in some remarkable, brilliant solutions. The first Armenak, v26 with the sacrifice of the queen. We will add to the remarkable Goldchess games. Arman's two solutions (2 and 3) also outstanding. V24, 2 moves earlier and v25. Both showed world class chess today. The next one, Damian, sent the author's. Today they all deserve high prizes, which unfortunately there are not due to too few players. We hope that by the end of the year the turnout will improve and players will be able to win big prizes. The rest of us didn't send anything, but we thank everyone for participating. As for the prizes, we add $5 and everyone gets $5 each. Congratulations, you are playing spectacular and real chess. Bravo!.
ps. The solution v25 was sent last by Vitaly. Also an honorable mention.
Top106 - Paul's brilliant solution. 2 moves earlier than us. Congratulations.
Armenak sent v26 different to ours and after time. Thank you for your participation.
Top105 - Only Armenak sent the correct solution. Their own variant, different from ours. Pity it was two minutes behind schedule. But the prize is there, entry fee to Top106. Congratulations. We show both variants.
Top104 - Today in Top the best Goldchess player played alone. 5 moves, time 5 minutes. Armenak sent the solution 40 seconds too late. But he sent a different one than ours, in Armenak's style, nice, but without winning the queen. However, we will reward originality with an entry fee to the next Top tournament. Congratulations
Top103 - Winning and mate.Armenak's best time was 1.42 and he is the winner. $10 and congratulations. Thank you all for participating.
Top102 - We have 2 effective but simple solutions for moving faster. The first Armenak $5, the second Damian, $5. Obviously both not authored. However, this is not Goldchess. Our solution although a move later is really nice. Not without a reason we wrote in the text: the art of matting. But congratulations to the winners.
Top101 - It was possible to win on move 51 in 4 ways. 2 correct, different solutions were submitted (45.Ra3, 45.Rc2). Our 2 variants still different. Arman wins, time 5:25. Ellina showed the winning position after the 51st move, but there is no computer pass (resigns). Thank you all for participation.
Top100 - It was a Daily24 task, only more difficult, the mate with bishop. Nobody solved.
We show it in Winners. Welcome to Top101.
Top99 - Position from the 27. 27… Qe5 it is weak move. After 27… Kh7 black wins. Today, faster solutions than ours. Armenak, 2 moves, mate 35, second Arman, 2 seconds later, 3 moves faster, mate34. We split the prize, Armenak $5, Arman $5. Third Vitaly, also mate34. Congrat to all.
Top98 - Nobody solved our task. We invite to next Top tournament.
Top97 - Only 3 correct solutions. Armenak, mate 19 and 20 (the winner, $10 prize) , and Vitaly, mate19. Zawo and Pavel, sent mate 22, move later. Additionally Vitaly wins the entry fee to the Win Faster. Thanks to all participants.

July
Top94 - This week's emphatically won Жавохир, a 13-year-old from Uzbekistan. Congratulations. Thank you to all the participants.
Top93 - 2 winners.Armenak, $10 for v33, a move faster, and Vitaly for mate 32, he receive a distinction, an entry to Top94.
Top92 - July10. The idea of Goldchess was to allow black to make up the second queen and win, (give mate) with two black queens (on the chessboard) The problem was best solved by Damian and Armenak capturing both hetmans. In our solution the 2 black queens stand idle while we mate forcibly. Today the winner is Damian who sent his solution earlier than Armenak. Congratulations.
Top91 - July3. Goldchess and our players are changing the face of chess. Today, Armenak's brilliant game and mate move faster. We will put Armenak's game in the most beautiful games of Goldchess.
See for yourself. Congratulations and a prize. Nobody has found our variant. Other solutions, - Vitaly sent the win, Zawo mate 32, move later. Thank you all for your participation

Top88 - June 5. Today there were only 4 moves to be made. Vitaly has sent a mate. Arman and Armenak have solved in concert way. Both receive an entry into the Top 89. Congrat
Top87 - May 22. Problem from previous edition. New position, a move more. Only Armenak solved, congratulations and $10. Our variant, but the move faster. He played more efficiently, we played nicer. See both solutions. They differ in the ending.
Top86 - May 15. A chess diamond to discover. A mate in 33 with the capture of the queen. Please visit. You are welcome to participate. Armenak plays Goldchess style, often at a better level than us. Today he did the mate 3 moves faster than we. Very nice solution to the this position problem. Our problem goes to Top87 with a new position.
Top85 - May 8. Tournament cancelled due to incorrect position.
Top84 - May 1st. Today's task could be solved in 20 seconds. First Lukasz, a variant move faster, 3 minutes 15 seconds. Lukasz's second solution, the author's, after time.

April
Top83 Saturday 10 - First Damian, not correct, m35. Second Yuri, author's, $50. Great congrat. After time Armenak sent an interesting solution, distinction. Thanks to all participants.
Top82 Saturday 3 - The Hero of the day is Damarka. She sent the correct solution with a queen sacrifice as much as 3 moves faster than us (mate22). $35 and the title of Gold Top Hero. Second Yuri, mate23, $15. Vitaly mate move later and out of time. Happy Easter to all our players
March
Top81 Saturday 27 - First Yuri second Armenak. Both sent the same variant. An effective attack idea. But, not the author so half the pool to share. Yuri $15, Armenak $10. We will show the author's solution to the problem. Thank you all for your participation. Ps. Yuri sent also m31, 2 moves earlier, we will show it, Armenak m32- one move faster. Thanks to both.
Top80 Saturday 20 - In the tournament first Vitaliy, mate 21 with queen capture, $15. Second Armenak, mate21, $10. Third Damian mate22 with queen capture, $5. Only after the tournament Damian sent mate24 with queen sacrifice. This mate will go down in Goldchess and chess history. Congratulations to all.
Top79 Saturday 13 - No one sent in an author. We show in Winners. Today's winners: Armenak and Alex $10 each, both sent the same solution. Damian otherwise finished third, $5. Congratulations
Top78 Saturday 6 - The task from the previous Top tournament. New position. Who will find our variant? - We can't believe it, but Armenak sent an authorial solution. A big round of applause! And $50, of course. Important. See the Top78 game in Winners. The position after 20 moves. On the 22nd move black could have taken a rook or a bishop. After taking the bishop white would have been left without compensation for the lost figure. However, the computer, following mathematical logic (rook 5 points, bishop 3), took the rook. In his excuse we can say, that at this moment white's mate combination was not visible for him. --- White was obviously taking a risk, but in Top 77 you can see the same game won convincingly.
From today only on Saturdays at 18:30 with a specific duration
Top24-16 (77)Wedn.3 - Today Armenak took all. 2 solutions, m28 and m27, $25 for him. For Alex entry fee to next Top, he has sent correct solution, but after time.

January 16
Top 61 Hiper - $250 prize. It was hot! Only the players from Armenia showed a high level. But, 6 solutions and none of them original. Armenak sent 3 solutions, Alex 2 in the allowed time.

But nobody sent 3 solutions for $300 prize. Nobody sent original solutions either. In that case, only the consolation prize for Armenak, $40. The third task proved too difficult today.

Currently in our online tournament Win Faster, Carlsen's game. And a great field for participants in this tournament. You have to win each game a move faster than the given tasks. There are a lot of moves and great chances for the players. Given: there are 14 moves to be made in the first game, as many as 34 moves in the second, 16 moves in the third (2 tasks) and 25 moves in the third (2 tasks). Of course, hidden in this set is a game with a mistake, which has an added move in the body of the task and which can certainly be won faster. An amazing chance for players to knock us off our feet. And we'd love to see it.
Once the tournament has opened, anyone can play any day of the month at any time. You only need to win the items consecutively as given and send their solutions without exceeding the time given for solving them.

2021-12-19
Current score: Goldchess - World Players 8:8 (in games 32:32) - great draw!
After pause - Win Faster17 December 19
Who wins?
In Win Faster 17, December 19, there were specific tasks with the last move described. Nobody won any of them a move earlier than us. And that's what Win Faster is all about. It seems that this was the most difficult edition so far. Only Armenak repeated our variant in solution 4. We invite ambitious chess players who want to shorten the amateur's solutions to the January edition of Win Faster.
Win Faster 15,16 May 16 - And again a 2:2 draw... Tasks 1 - 4 were beyond the reach of the players. Pawel won the move earlier 2 games, 2 and 3. As there was no minimum of players, the prize is symbolic, $20. Pawel won the move earlier 2 games, 2 and 3. As there was no minimum of players, the prize is symbolic, $20. Congratulations
Win Faster 14 May 9 - We want to win! No. Today the draw 2:2. Games 1 and 3 nobody won faster. Armenak sent 2 faster solutions. But, task 2 we do not recognize. He sent mate 36, and we shortened his solution by a move. However, it must be said that he found a beautiful move here Bg8. In task 3 he used a flawless technique and won the move faster. We show his solution and our variant. Prize, entry fee to Win Faster 15
Win Faster 13 May 2 - Last time our amateur lost 0:4. We make no secret that today we want the opposite result. But no. Armenak won by a move faster in tasks 3 and 4. A 2:2 draw. Big applause for the Armenian chess virtuoso. In Goldchess you just have to show that you can play chess. Great news. After tournament Armenak found the solution 1 move faster in 1st task! So a draw, but with Armenak as the winner
Win Faster 12 April 18 - 0:4. Total victory for the players. All 4 games were winnable faster! Yuri didn't play, probably had poor internet, which often happens in Cuba. However, Armenak -Armenia and Damian Poland, provided cosmic emotions today. Task 1: First Armenak, mate 25, already a move earlier. Second Damian, missed mate 23 by playing 20.Q:f6, instead of 20.Qg7. This was discovered by Armenak in the 4th solution and he is the winner here. Ufff, it started badly for Goldchess. Task 2: They both easily found a variant that was a move faster, but Armenak was first. Will Armenak win the main prize today?
Task 3 and 4 from one position will decide. Win and mate, 5 and 7 moves to do. This is handled beautifully by Damian, finding a brilliant move 40.Nd8 in the position. This is followed by a win on 43, a move faster and a mate on 44, 2 moves faster. The amateur is taken away for resuscitation, a heart attack. :)
Armenak did not discover these variants but also sent a good solution as fourth, mate 45, move faster. A great day for the players. Both $75. Congratulations! I called the hospital, the amateur is alive, so the next Win Faster tournament will take place.Win Faster 11 April 11 - The top 2 Goldchess players failed to beat the amateur today and win the move earlier today. Also no one sent 4 solutions for which we have an extra prize. Task 1, Yuri sent the author's. Bravo! Task 2, Armenak v25, but without winning the queen. However, no one sent task 3, mate30 without getting a queen. However, it was easier to win this position with capturing the queen. With capture we have 2 solutions, Armenak and Yuri, and ours is another. And interestingly, after time Yuri sent mate in 29, with capturing queen, a move earlier. But the solution is highly controversial, because in the test the computer twice played us differently, preventing such a solution as Yuri sent.
Win Faster 10 April 4 - Today 3:1 in games. Armenak solved 4th task! He receive $30 prize. In task 2 Armenak and Damian did win a move faster, but without fulfilling the condition of capturing the queen. We distinguish Armenak's game in task 4, mate with queen sacrifice. He receive an entry fee to Win Faster 11. Thank you all for the playing.
Win Faster 9 March 21 - We are beginning to believe in our amateur. Only in the second task did he manage to beat him. This was done by Damian Sliwicki and he becomes the hero of today's tournament.
Task 1, nobody sent any solution. After 58 minutes Armenak sent a mate in 26, but without winning a queen. It turns out that this was a very difficult task for the players, although we think that only from level 3-4. In our match 1:0 for Goldchess.
Win Faster 8 March 14 - Our amateur said: in win Faster 8 nobody wins any game faster than me. The tournament is today, in an hour, we will see if it is a boast and the players will win 4 games faster like in WF7, or if it is true this time. At this point nobody knows. --------- Results - Powerful emotions.
After the tournament we can say that the truth is in the middle. In the first game of the solution move earlier sent Armenak and Damian, but without getting the queen, so no. The second game, Armenak, move earlier, bravo and $30. The third game no one sent, in the fourth game Damian sent the author, that is in the same number of moves. But, after the tournament Armenak proved that it was possible to win the move earlier fourth game! Big applause for the champion! In view of this, in match points we consider today's 8th edition a draw, 2:2.
Win Faster 7 March 7. In this tournament the players won all the games faster. Great victory for the players from Armenia! Just a hair away from the top prize $1000. Armenak was first to win 3 games, $250 plus 15 rating points, Alex was first in one game, $30 plus 5 rating points. Big congratulations. 1:0 for players. What will happen in the next edition?
Win Faster 6 - February 21. $1000 prize pool. The great excitement of the 6th edition is behind us. Today the players have won. A big match point for players.
Only in the first game no one managed to win faster. In game 2, first Armenak, won in 20, second Alex, he won faster, in 19 moves. That's pity, it is late. In game 3 first Armenak, 4 moves faster than us, in game 4 first Alex. Armenak $73, Alex $30. Congratulations to the winners.
Win Faster 5 - February 14. $1000 prize pool. Who will win? 5th edition of Win Faster is over. However, it is possible to win faster and Armenak showed that. Armenak won faster in 3 games. However, in the first incorrectly, we do not score, in the third correctly, a move earlier, in the fourth 2 moves earlier, but 5 minutes after the time. Hence the prize for only one correct solution. Only the second game could not have been won faster. After 43 minutes Armenak sent a mate in 32, the same number of moves as we did.
Win Faster 4 - January 17. $1000 prize pool. Goldchess victory. In the required time nobody sent the solutions of winning a move earlier. In task 1 and 3 Armenak won the move earlier. But, after the time (task 1 his time 11:43, it was 10 minutes, task 3, his time 18:56, it was 15 minutes.). However, we will award half of the prize, $30. If he had sent in the time allowed, he would have won $150 today. In task 2 CEEC did not let himself be defeated a move earlier.
2 days after the tournament Armenak found winning move faster in task 2, the tournament Win Faster 4. So it turns out that all tasks could be won move faster and win the top prize, $1000! A big applause for our best player from Armenia.
Win Faster 2 - January 1st - who will win? There were four moves in the last Daily task. Players won in two, 2 moves earlier. In Top, they also won 1 move earlier, and the mate - 2 moves earlier. We see the future of Win Faster game for Goldchess in black. We think we're gonna go bankrupt.
A New Year's tasks without conditions. Beat, kill, win as soon as possible. Today positions from the previous Win Faster 1 game. No conditions, just win move faster. Who won faster?. Game 1, 2, 3. WOW! No one has solved any problem. 3:0 for Goldchess, and in big points after two editions, a draw. We are happy, but also sad.
During the tournament no one sent any solution faster than us. But in overtime, with virtually unlimited time, the players have shown what they can do. $50 was won by Armenak, who sent a task 1 move faster and tasks 2 and 3, two moves faster. If he had sent this set during the tournament, he would have won the main prize of $1000. Great congratulations. The Armenak's solutions in -Winners.

FWF 5 April 1
Only one participant Adrian from Cuba sent all 3 solutions. But only one correct one. In task 1 where there was a win in 38-37 he sent a win in 35. But there is no sacrifice of the queen. Also, we know that Adrian plays independently, but such a solution could be done by practically any computer stronger than ours. Task 2, a win of 26, and should have made a mate of 29. Only task 3 correct and beautiful, a move earlier from us with the queen capture. Up to the half Adrian played identically to us, then saw the combination faster by a move. Honorable mention and congratulations for this game.
The rest of the players are just extras. We don't understand why or what they signed up for.

FWF April 1
We look at the people 90% who signed up for this tournament indulgently, with a slight smile. After the question: and have you played in our other tournaments and won there? - everything becomes clear. They haven't played, they haven't won and here they are without a chance, as the FWF is a higher level. Therefore, it should get through to everyone signed up that wanting to win $1,000 and - being able to win $1,000 are two different things.
2022-12-29
It's a different world with us. We care about the quality of the games, we don't produce chess spam, we create worthwhile games and enable our participants to do the same. Moreover, our tournaments are for an unlimited number of participants. And they will make sense, start to make sense, when thousands of players play in them. Especially in those in which the entry fee is paid. The power of the chess collective, of thousands of players, is powerful. And this is what we want to use. With us, without sponsors, the prizes can be bigger than in other chess tournaments, or even in tournaments of top players. We have made a swallow, the first free tournament with a $1000 prize pool and for 1000 participants. You are welcome. The date, as we have stated, 1 January 2023. A thousand participants and we are playing.
PS.
If we give $1000 for 1000 chess players, there are supposed to be 1000 participants. And until there is, the tournament will not take place.

Free Win Faster Results
Announcement
The Free Win Faster tournament with a grand prize of $5,000 will be every month. This is our intention. Provided there is always a minimum of 200 chess players. So we appeal to the already registered players, if you see that there are not 200 participants, appeal to your colleagues, let them also register and play.
Free Win Faster tournament-level V with the grand prize of $5000!
Current score: Goldchess - World Players 3:1 (in games 8:4)
4th Edition - December 25 from June 26. We have postponed the tournament to 25 December. Normally it would have been every month but since there are not 200 players (they can't get together for a few months), we postponed to a distant date. Besides, those who have signed up and are on the list are mostly statisticians who have not yet played anywhere with us and are without prize entitlement if they win. And if 200 participants do not gather by December, we will close this tournament.
4th Edition - May 29. You want to play regularly every month, invite your colleagues. In order for a tournament to take place, there must always be a minimum of 200 participants.
Currently we have removed from our list players who signed up "off the street". That is, players who have not played in any of our tournaments or diagrams before, and who have not sent in any solution to prove their level.
4th Edition - March 27, 2022 (for a minimum of 200 full-fledged players). Tournament postponed until next month due to poor turnout. We set a modest minimum for this tournament, 200 full participants. There are over 50 million chess players in the online space, so if there aren't 200 here, we think it's not our problem, but the chess players themselves.
3rd Edition - June 27 - On 27 June the tournament will take place regardless of the number of participants. Ufffffff, the great excitement is behind us. However, chess is unpredictable. In the first game, the 13-year-old from Uzbekistan Жавохир Артиков knocked out Goldchess. From the position after 20 moves we were draw in 28, he drew in 24, 4 moves faster. Armenak drew 27, Damian drew 26. After time Armenak also found a draw of 24.
We invite you to Win Faster, July 4, entry fee $11, prize pool $1000.
May30 - Only 61 players on the list today, so we will move the tournament date to June 27.
At the same time, we do not understand why chess players who have not played and won even in Daily 24, a level II tournament, signed up for the Free Win Faster (level V) tournament. As extras-statisticians?
April 25 - As of April 23 we have 22 participants on the tournament list. Due to this low number of players we will not be running a free tournament with a $5000 prize pool on the scheduled date of 25 April. The tournament will only run when we have 100 players signed up.
2nd Edition - March28
IN THIS EDITION NO ONE WILL WIN ANY GAME A MOVE EARLIER THAN ME<<< Sorry, this entry was made by our amateur as I stepped away from the computer to brew myself a coffee. But, if he wrote it, I am announcing an extra prize before the tournament. $50 for the player who solves all 4 problems in as many moves as we do, with no condition - move earlier. V level, but this is also fun, so I also increase the time to solve the tasks. 1 game - 15 minutes, 2 - 15, 3+4 - 25 minutes.
Good luck
After the tournament
Great FWF Hero is Damarka who solved correct 3rd problem. $25 and great congrat! There was also an additional $50 prize for sending in 4 of our solutions, but no one solved the 4 problems like we did. This prize goes to the next edition in April 25.
Game 1 - 1 solution by Damian, 2 moves later.
Game 2 - 4 solutions, all not correct. Arman and Yuri have sent m32, move faster, but without the queen's capture
Game 3 - 4 solutions, only Damarka has sent correct, $25!
Game 4 - nobody has sent, nobody solved the 4th problem
In the games 3:1 for Goldchess. However, the Win Faster tournament, level IV, is easier. We will show our solutions, except 4th.
We invite all players on the last Sunday of next month.
1st Edition - February28. A long, hard way to win $5000! Emotion, emotion, emotion. 1 Edition finished.

Challenge 152, March 24
Game 1. Two participants sent two different mats in 35th move. And the task was won in the 31st move. The second task, the solution was sent only by Maciek (at one time he was 8th at the amateur world championship in Italy), but by a move too late. But we must praise, he presented a nice technique in this one. It was from a position after 20 moves. In task 3 the position after 14 moves and the task mate 23 with the capture of the hetman. Everyone here surrendered, only Maciej sent m26, three moves too late. He is good, as he gets more skilled with us, he will win.

Daily March 23
One good solution, Paul and a move earlier from us. Paul has a knack for playing effectively, finding other ways. here all he had to do was rearrange the moves. So much so that he makes inaccuracies. His solution mate in move 29, we shortened to 27 moves. And that disqualifies his solution, according to our rules. But congratulations
Daily March 9
Paul was11 seconds late for the train, i.e. he sent the solution 11 seconds after the time. We have therefore increased the time in the next task to 12 minutes. Thank you for your solution, please join us next week.
Daily March 2
Mate on the 43rd move with the capture of 2 queens. Nobody has solved, we show the solution.
Daily February 24
Only 5 moves. But, sacrificing the bishop was necessary to get a draw. After time, a solution other than ours was sent by Pavel. Thank you.
Daily February 17. After a change of position, Pawel found another draw. Our solution is different. A draw - a stalemate. We show both solutions.
Daily 10 February - There is Pawel Jaworski's first solution. It turns out that after 40...b5 our computer played him differently to us, us 41.Nb7, him 41.Rd2, and still a draw can be achieved. So we correct the position so that the players can find our solution, which is witty and slightly different.
Daily 27 January. No one resolved.
Daily 20 January. None resolved.
Tournament Daily 23 December
There is no winner. Arman sent 3 solutions. Tied in order, time 1.37 minutes, won with capture of queen in 35, but we shortened on 34 and instead of mat 26 he sent win 26. Pawel Jaworski sent only one solution, but the best of all. He won in 31 move with capturing the queen, 5 moves faster than us. Many thanks, we will show this game.
Tournament Daily 16 December
In Goldchess we have some outstanding chess players, most from Armenia. They are able to send faster game endings than ours. Last week Arman sent a win, a different variant to ours, 2 moves faster than ours, in 43 moves. But it works both ways. It turned out that our analysts shortened his variant by a move. And that's the task in today's Daily tournament. He also plays Arman, will he find a win by a move faster in his variant? --- Another sensation. Pawel Jaworski sent a solution, a win in 42 moves, an even different variant than ours and Arman's, and our analyst shortened his solution for a win in 41 moves!
And here we have an interesting remark. If a player sends a different variant and a faster win than ours, this is a plus, the satisfaction of the player, but also a minus, because the solution is not the author's, and we reward such a solution to a maximum of half the prize. In the event that we shorten a player's solution, this is a disqualification of the solution and we may not recognise and award such a solution. However, we do not practically apply this point of the rules (3.9) and generally reward. See both solutions. It was enough not to make the queen, but to play Kg2 and the computer gave up.
Tournament Daily 9 December
We have talented analysts who make up our parties. But our players are even more capable. And they often send other solutions, their own concepts and shorter than our solutions a move or two. We are then very pleased. And so it was today, Arman sent a win in 45 which is the way we wanted it, and then a win in 43 moves. Altogether it took him 5, 5 minutes. Congratulations.
Gujrathi-Shirov position2023-11-25
Did we already say that to win at our place, you have to play a bit of chess? Nobody won this position in 34 moves. And we gave a concessionary fare, because we have a win from this position already in the 32nd move. The game will be moved to difficult and unresolved, the Genius Test game. There you will be able to try to win it for a symbolic reward.
The second Zawo, shortened our variant, sent a win in 54 move. However, this is not an optimal solution, as we in turn shortened his variant by a move. The second task was a modification of the first, pure fun, win a move later, in 59, but having 2 queens. Nobody found this variant, therefore there is no winner today. Thanks to the players for participating, we show all solutions.
Daily online tournament, 11-12 November
No one has found our solution, but I must say that we have some real virtuosos in this line-up. Yesterday 15-year-old Zawo from Uzbekistan sent a variant that brought us to our knees. Today the hero of the overtime game is Arman. Although there is no queen sacrifice in his game as in Zawo's, the variant is captivatingly beautiful. Armenak tried very hard to give both sacrifice and capture of the queen, but he showed an underplayed variant, winning in move 42, practically with a queens exchange, not a capture.
We corrected it to a win on move 40 with a genuine capture of the queen. In Goldchess we are all learning. We and our players. In this situation, the $10 prize is won by Arman today.
Summing up the games of Zawo (Жавохир Артиков), Arman, Armenak's revised variant and ours, I will say this: Shirov as if he played like that, he would have been world champion long ago. The tournament is over, in -Winners we will show all the outstanding games of our participants and ours.
Daily 303, November 11
Daily 303, October 29
A dynamic game. The task was solved by all the Armenian chess players. Bravo! Armenak won in a sensational time of 1.21 minute. In the next Daily, Aronian's game from the ongoing Fide Grand Swiss tournament.
PS.
In our solutions we have shown 2 more variants when white does not accept the sacrifice of the bishop in the 37th move and plays 38.Kf3 or Kg2.
Another beautiful solution after 2 hours 13 minutes was sent by Paul. With the capture of the queen and although incorrect, we will certainly reward in the end. And it is incorrect because Paul repeated Carlsen's move, a move after which he lost. The position is given to play another move, change the concept and win.
Challlenge 147 May 6. The peculiarity and originality of Goldchess tournaments lies in the fact that a specific solution has to be found, not one that a player manages to get from a given position. This is exactly what happened in this tournament. Instead of a win, the players sent a mate and instead of a mate they won. Therefore, there is no winner. In the next Challenge tournament, please read the content of the tasks carefully.
Challenge 146 April 15. Feel invited. Pawel Jaworski did very well with games 2 and 3. Unfortunately he did not solve the first one and did not win the prize. But congratulations, he handled games 2 and 3 in concert.
Challenge 145, March 25. There is no winners.
Challenge 144, 18 March. For amateurs and professionals. Only one solution. No winner.
Challenge 143 - level test
Game 3, 3000 Elo level.
From this position it is possible to give mate on the 27th move, and on the 30th and 31st move (other) with the pawn f4. However, we are looking for a beautiful solution with the sacrifice of 4 pieces. You can see the solutions given in Winners-Tournaments 2023.
2022
Challenge 142, October 29. A historic Goldchess game that will go down in chess history. Discover the path to victory in Duda's losing game against Keymer.
Daily 285 October 20-5th November. In Goldchess we discover the logic of the strongest moves. It turns out that in this task it is possible to win in 3 moves. 19.Rf3 and the computer gives up. Such a solution was sent by 4 players: Leszek, Arman, Adrian, Heniekchess. A big applause.
Daily 284 (October 22-29). Our players won the move faster about us. Bravo!
It was won ( again) by Arman with a fantastic time of 1.25 minutes. Pawel Jaworski's solution deserves attention and mention. His queen gives the black king a mate under the nose of the black bishop.
Congratulations to both chess players.
Daily 283-(2) October 15-22. 6 moves only... Start On Sunday at 6 pm CET (after Genius Test). The winner is again Arman Ghevondyan, Armenia. Great congrat. And the title + $5.
Daily 281 October 8-15. Winner... Arman Ghevondyan. The rest - extras.
Daily 280 October 1-8. Mate 23 with capture of the queen. There was only one way to win here. And Arman sent a solution exactly like ours. Congratulations.
October 1. Daily 278-9 September 24 - October 1. We teach how to play good chess. In our positions we very often show such a moment in the game when you should make an out-of-the-box move, different from the usual one. And so it is this batch. In the first move you should have sacrificed quality by beating the rook the bishop on e6. And then bring it to a winning end.
Daily 277 September 17-24. The task was - mate in 23, 4 moves to make. The idea was to play Bb4+. Had CEEC defended more strongly, after 21....c5, 22.N:c5 mate is in the 25th move. This mate would also have been recognised. Arman sent in win and after time. We invite to the next Daily. Open all week.
Daily 276 September 10-17. The winner was once again Arman Ghevondyan Armenia. Congratulations
Daily 275 September 3-10. The undisputed winner is Arman. He sent our solution, and his own by a move faster and a class better (time 1:58). We see and admit, we overlooked a beautiful move (35th B:f7), and chess players who can improve our solutions, and in a brilliant way, are really good chess players. This game will be placed in the Most beautiful games of Goldchess. Congratulations. Plus the prize, $5.
Challenge tournament temporarily suspended.
Challenge 140 October 1 (tournament moved. We are waiting for 20 players)
Challenge 140 - September 10. Tournament postponed from September 3.
Daily 274 September 3. There is only one way to win in this task. Our variant. Found it...Arman!. There were only seven moves to make. Only Arman Ghevondyan solved and he is the winner. His time of 7.5 minutes. Congratulations. See how you should have played -Winners Chess Miracles.
Daily 273 August 20-27. Report: Task - mate in the 38th move. Position after 30 moves, our first move is 31.Kg2. CEEC then plays 31.... g6 or 31... Rd7. In both cases there is a mate in the 38th move. No one has sent a correct solution. Arman mate move later, Pawel sent the win. We invite to next Daily.
Daily 272 August 13-20. The problem was solved only by Pawel Jaworski, but after time. The task was simple. The computer 'took a nap' and white took advantage of this. See the solution.
Daily271. Our variant of the mate in the 34th move is with the capture of the queen and with a knight. But we didn't announce these conditions because the Daily is a fun tournament. Arman was the first to send mate 31, the most played variant, Sahak tried to find our variant in the 34th move. We will therefore divide the prize of $2.5 each between the two players. They are from one country, so they will share. Congratulations
Challenge 140 - August 20. Tournament postponed 2 times due to lack of players. Or maybe chess players are afraid of the positions from Aronian's games? Unnecessarily, because with us you do not play them with Aronian, but with our educational computer.
Challenge 139 - July 23. Nobody has solved.
Challenge 136 - June 4. 6, 7, 7 moves to make. Learning to play nicely. One correct solution, Wojciech Filip, two Leszek Kwiatkowski. No 3 solutions in this situation, no winner.
Challenge 135 - May 28. The players solved only one task. Wojciech Filip, task 1. Shown in -Winners 2 and 3. Please join us on Saturday for another Challenge.
Challenge 134 - May 14.
Challenge 133 - May 7. Nobody solved 3 tasks, no winner.
Challenge 130 - An instructive game with one position after 18 moves. Goldchess games are more interesting than 90% of tournament games, in traditional tournaments. There, the only rule is, to win. In ours, win, but win beautifully. Win 24, (6 moves), mate 26 with capture and sacrifice of the queen, and mate 28, the opposite, with sacrifice and capture. There is no winner, we show our solutions.
Supplementary comment.
Only one person from Poland played in the Challenge 130 tournament (April 2), in support of the struggling Ukraine. One person in the tournament of support is a national and chess defeat. A compromise of the Polish chess world, something very reprehensible.
After this tournament a decision to close the Polish Goldchess website matures in us. Most probably still this year. Polish chess players gave an anti-national stain and we think that they do not deserve to learn and play in our country. The more so as Goldchess is Polish know-how and a Polish product, underestimated by them for 10 years, because this is how long we have existed.
Challenge 129 - March 12. Tournament of support for the fighting Ukraine. Due to low number of players and lack of support for our idea, the tournament was postponed. What is the reason, whether chess players are totally apolitical, insensitive or even fearful, we have no idea. It's a pity, because support here is just a typical, good action, independent of all world views.
Challenge 129 - March 5. Tournament of support for the fighting Ukraine. Special games, created during the on-going war.
We have received virtually no support from chess players for the struggling Ukraine. We cannot believe that this has happened.
We thought and were sure that thousands of chess players would come to declare their support. However, this did not happen.
In this situation the tournament did not take place and is moved to next week, on March 12. You have the chance to change this.
Challenge 128 - February 19 - Lack of correct solutions
Challenge 126 - February 5 - Game 1 nobody has sent a solution. Armenak was late on the 1st task and started on the 2nd. But he sent the correct solution to task 1 after the time. Games 2 and 3 from one position. Armenak found another way to win and mate, 27.c4. With this the win was achieved a move earlier. Prize, entry fee for Challenge 127.
Challenge125 - January29 - No one has won 3 games in the manner stated. After time Armenak sent a nice solution. We will show it. In task 2 Damian shone, who sent a mate with capturing queen move earlier, and Armenak sent a mate 25 with sacrificing queen. Both solutions were outstanding and we will put them in the folder -the Most Beautiful Goldchess games.
Challenge 124 - January 8-15
Today's winner is Armenak, $10. We will show his mate 23, a move earlier from us. Position after 14 moves. See
Challenge 123 - January 1st
Game 10.
Learning logic. Only Armenak passed the exam. Author's solution.
Game 11.1
Armenak only. 2 moves earlier from us.
Game 11.2
2 players sent in the solutions. Variant from the 32nd move. In Armenak's solution winning on the 52nd move, the computer plays after 33.Kh1, Nf3. But after 33. ...Rd6 white loses. Therefore the variant is weak. Pawel Jaworski sent in winning in the 55th move. 33.R:f1. Nepomniachtchi's move. But the idea of Goldchess is different. See.
Today the winner is Armenak, $15 prize. Congrat.
Games 10, 11 comments
Game 10
The idea of queens exchange. In the white game this is almost a mistake (see also game 4). The lack of a queen severely weakens the attack, and white is after all the colour of the first move. Therefore in this game our idea was to protect the white queen from exchange. And it worked out well for white. Winning 22 move with capturing the queen, mate 23 and draw 23. Of course wins are easier to get here, because CEEC doesn't have the playing strength of Carlsen or Nepo, but he plays correctly, according to chess rules. Like 90% of chess players. And for them our games are exemplary.
Game 11.1
After 11 games we can only say: this is no longer a match. It is a slaughter. See how we won the 11th game with white. The key is 15.Sd5! It's a pity Nepo didn't see it and played 15.Wad1, a move without deep sense and concrete plan.
Game 11.2
Second chance for Nepo to win this game.
The game has a so-called second bottom, second face, won by white from the position after black's 32nd move. Nepo plays stiff, hopeless 33.R:f1. We play the fine 33.Kf2. This is a trap. If black now plays the reflexive, mechanical 33...Nc2, saving the knight, he has lost the game, because 34.ec7 follows. See also this our version of game 11.
Challenge 122 - December 25
Game 7. Vitaly won on move 33 because the computer played the other 22 move. Armenak, who sent in his solution after time, won on move 38 in a different way. To us there is a different idea of winning in our solution.
Game 8. Armenak wins the move faster.
Game 9. Other game techniques and Armenak wins in 26th move, 3 moves faster. Vitaly sent v30 (after time).
There is no winner who sent 3 solutions. Armenak 2, Vitaly one. According to the rules, players won only 30% of the prize pool. But as the pool is small, we will deviate from the rules and divide it all. Armenak $15, Vitaly $5. Congrat
Comments
Game 7
In the match a draw, in ours a straight win on move 33-38, after exchanging queens.
Nepo did not see the counter chance hidden in this position. He played a seemingly strong 22. de5, which after a series of schematic exchanges gave a draw position. We have a different vision of attacking and winning. Discover it for yourself.
The match between Carlsen and Nepo is a match between two of the best chess players in the world. It might seem that nothing can be improved here. But it turns out that you can. You have concrete examples of this in our versions of the champions' games.
Game 8
A draw game, and Carlsen outplayed Nepo at the end like a kid with a ranking of 1000. 28... Qa5? Qd5 should have been played ruthlessly, still giving a draw chance. In general after this game the match became ridiculous. In our case black won on move 39-40, from the position after move 24.
Game 9
In game 9 we achieved a draw without any problems. A draw at move 31 in the play version, when CEEC makes the mistake of beating the a1 rook, and a draw at move 32 in the serious version.
Could Nepo have won this game? Of course. We have a win in 26-29 and a mate on move 31 with the capture of the queen.

Report
A strange thing happened in the Poland Challenge tournament. A lot of players were taking positions from the previous tournament by inattention. Arman, a talented player from Armenia, who sent the first 2 solutions in task 1. The correct solution, winning in 20 moves, was not sent by anyone.
Task 2, First Damian, sent a position instead of a solution. Second Alicja Śliwicka, correct solution, only... another variant and mate 3 moves faster than us! And she wins here. Congratulations. Solution 3 and 4, Arman, positions and solutions from the previous tournament. But, there is still a solution 5, Veronica, 12 years old, also mate in the 19th. We will reward the 12-year-old with an additional prize of 100 PLN. Big applause!
Task 3. one solution after the time, 10:23, sent by Arman Gevondyan , but incorrect, from a bad position from the previous tournament.
We do not understand how players could download from -My account, positions from previous tournament. We checked, the positions from the Poland Challenge are displayed correctly.

Goldchess Challenge April 18
============================================
In our tournaments, you play from a given position vs. the educational CEEC computer.
Specially for chess-playing friends of Patricia Claros Aguilar. Start April 20 at 16:00 CET.
It is the year 1894. Steinitz, playing as White, loses a game to Lasker. At Goldchess we have won it. In the Tournament we have presented 3 instructive tasks showing how to win this game. Of course, the participants are expected to win in the way specified by us.
Gold World Challenge Tournament rules. Registration until 11 April - sign up today, on April 11-17th pay entry fee
The basic prize pool is US$ 1,000. Its amount depends on the number of participants and may be higher. If there are 500 contenders, the prize pool will amount to US$5,000. The Tournament includes three chess problems that need to be solved, and the prizes from the basic pool are as follows: US$ 250 for problem No. 1, US$ 250 for problem No. 2, and US$500 for problem No. 3.
50% of each prize goes to the winner who is the first to submit a correct solution to a problem. As it is Patricia Claros Aguilar Tournament, the other 50% of each prize is earmarked for 1-3 winners from Latin American countries who are the first representatives of their countries to send in correct solutions within the specified time limit. (The time limits for solving the problems are as follows: 9 minutes for problem No. 1, 9 minutes for problem No. 2 and 10 minutes for the problem No. 3). The first problem is the easiest one, as it requires only 7 moves. The amounts of prizes reflect the difficulty levels of particular problems.
Apart from the rules specified above, the relevant provisions of the Goldchess Rules, as well as regulations applicable to other Goldchess tournaments apply to the Gold World Challenge Tournament.
The Gold World Challenge tournament will be held as a guest event in the National Challenge tournament. And for this tournament you have to pay an entry fee.

3 solutions, all played in concert and sent the correct solutions. See the table. The winner was Arman Ghevondyan, the second Armenian. Congratulations
Level 50 - Jubilee
Arman was the first to send in a solution, time one minute 32 seconds. But he did a strange thing. He made 5 correct moves and when he should have played 24...Q:g2, after which we have a second sacrifice and the computer gives up, he played 24...Qf5. The winner was the second in the table, Damian. Correct solutions were still sent by Armenak (fourth), Wojciech Filip (sixth) and Arman (7th and 8th).
Congratulations to the winner and thanks to everyone for their participation.

Level 50, Octobber 18. A brilliant task. Winning with a double queen sacrifice
Level 49, September 20. Win as soon as possible... From this position the win is in move 22, after 4 moves. Wojciech sent a mate on the 23rd, Paul a win on the 24th move. It was only after time that he sent the correct solution. We reward him nevertheless, for his ambition.
Level 48, September 13. We teach the game of chess. Also in a tournament for amateurs, Level 1. Today's task is to mate in the 23rd move with the capture of the queen. However, no one solved it. The players sent a mate on the 26th and 27th move. In the given position you should have played 19.... Be3!!! rather than Qg4. And that is the whole philosophy of this task. But thank you for your solutions and welcome to the next Level 49. In Level 50 there will be a special task.
2023-09-06
Level 47, September 6. Only 3 moves. The first two solutions incorrect, (mate 20), as this was the task in the previous Level tournament. Today it was to be won. The third solution, sent by Paul, is correct and he is the winner of Level 47. Congratulations.
Level 46. The winner is Wojciech Filip. congrat
Level 45, August 23. The draw was a matter of one move. Paul was the winner, with a time of 4 minutes and 23 seconds. Congratulations and entry into the Top tournament.
Level 44, August 16. No one solved, and the task was not difficult. 6 moves. Mat 32 with capture and sacrifice of the queen. The solution is shown.
2023-07-26
Level 36 There were 4 moves to be made. No one solved. We show the solution.
Level 35: Sorry, there was a wrong position. We will repeat the task.
Level 34, 7 June. No one solved. Paul sent mate 30, we have in 29 move.
Level 33, 31 May. The winner is Wojciech Filip, he sent the fastest mate in 28 moves.... Congratulations plus entry fee to Top.
Level 32, May 24. 2 solutions have been submitted, neither of which is correct. Win as soon as possible means in the case of this game a mate on the 30th move and this is the variant we have. Paul sent a mate in the 31st, Wojciech in the 32nd. There is no winner, welcome to the next Level 33.
Level 31, 17 May. 2 players sent correct solutions, other than ours. The first is Paweł Jaworski. Congratulations
2023-05-10
Level 30, May 10.
The first solution from position after 28 moves was sent by Paweł, he won in 33 moves. Badly. The second one sent by Wojciech is correct. Only 4 moves needed to be made. Checkmate on move 32 with capturing and sacrificing a queen. That's how it was supposed to be played. Wojciech Filip wins participation in the Top tournament. Congratulations.
*In the Chessable Masters Div 1 tournament Artemiev eliminated Carlsen by winning 3:2. We check his 3 game winning streak to see if Artemiev is really that good. We do not confirm. We found winning variants for Carlsen. All these 3 games he could have easily won. They will appear as tasks in our tournaments.
Level 26, April 5
We do not know how to comment on the fact that the players did not win a position in which only 4 moves had to be made. We show the solution.
Level 25, March 22
No one has solved? The solution is witty. Since black has "caught" 2 rooks in the fork, one must be given away. We also know that the computer is a player of Korchnoy's nature, he likes to take pawns and figures for free. And if that's the case, we'll give him 2 rooks! The PC takes the second rook with a checkmate and "thinks" he will manage to defend himself. It won't. See the solution.
2023-04-26
Level1-26, 12 April
2023-03-15
Level1-24, The Polish-German duo of players failed. And the solution was simple. Just always remember that sacrificing of the queen may or may not be accepted by your opponent.
Level1-22. 3 moves... Winner's time 1.24 minutes. A round of applause for Cuba and Cuban chess player Adrian.

The future of chess
In Goldchess you have to win a position with a CEEC computer (1500-1800 Elo) which is very weak compared to Stockfish and similar programs with a playing strength of 3500 ELO. And if you can't win our position it means that you have major gaps in your chess education. As a consolation we can only tell you that the great Stockfish also does not win our positions in the required number of moves playing directly vs CEEC. The big conundrum? No, Stockfish can't play chess well yet either. He is just a hero of our time and will remain so unless he develops. The future of chess is Goldchess.

September 3
Out of more than 30 participants in the recent Chess Wonders Competition, only two sent in solutions. What does that mean? That the tasks are difficult? No, our tasks are not difficult because they are made by an amateur chess player with no ranking. Only that he uses techniques unknown to modern chess. So chess knowledge doesn't help, Stockfish with his 3500 ELO, worthless here, won't help either. The problem, I think, is that it does not occur to those playing with us at all that it is possible to play chess like this. Our ways of playing, of running an attack, are different from today's chess as performed by modern chess players, even the best ones. That's why you have to get to know them, play and train with us. This will have good results. You will raise your level.

ps. As of today (20-08), Duda has 12 games lost but, 4 wins against Carlsen alone.
News August 11
And as for the computers, the player who bets on playing Goldchess with their help will very quickly find that he will not win. Strong computers will not help him because they cannot see our solutions. It is not yet this generation of chess computers. Goldchess is, in a sense, in the 22nd century.

This was not a loss. We got a draw, a win and a mate. Can you figure it out for yourself? Prize $50.
Paul solutiona
Here we want to say that Goldchess is like Wikipedia, it will grow indefinitely, because it is also built and co-created with us by our players. Paul's games are a living example of this. So, out of a possible 4 moves in this position of which 3 were winning, Carlsen chose the fourth one to lose. Amazing. This game including our and Paul's variants is likely to go down in the eternal history of chess. If only as a remarkable mistake by Carlsen.
15-06, German Champioship 2025
Keymer won this tournament in convincing, if not thunderous fashion for his opponents. Out of 7 games 6 wins and one draw. Half a point was taken away from him by Wagner. This draw is such a blemish on Keymer's scoring at the moment, so we decided to see if Keymer could have won it. And it turns out he could, just as convincingly as the other games. Can you find a way to win it yourself?
Wagner-Keymer game, draw, we win with black
Both solutions sent only by Pawel. Different vision, different techniques. He won in 48, 2 moves faster than us and mate in 54, a move faster. We show both his games. For sending after time a symbolic prize of $5.
Our games. Look at the position. We have a vision and a game plan. Our assessment is that black has a pawn more on the hetman wing and this is the chance to win. We see this already in the 21st move. All that remains is the implementation. See how we accomplished this.
GC June 1st
We were wrong that there was no second solution in this game, won in 76 moves. Pawel sent another as ours. Goldchess is a different style, however. Note in ours the move 74.d4 with the proposal to sacrifice the bishop.
2025-04-10
Draw on move 85. Paul sent a solution, different from ours. Congratulations. See both
Paul (Pawel) sent in 2 not original but amazing solutions. This is worth seeing (GC winners). This is how our regular players play. His solutions, and ours, are mega educational models of how to play from this position.
Only Pavel sent a solution, a win on the 31st move (from the position after white's 20th move), after time. However, this is not the best or fastest solution that could be obtained from this position. He therefore receives an honorable mention plus a symbolic prize of $5.
Another solution like ours was sent by Pawel. Congratulations. See both.
Svane-Yuffa 1-0.

We got a draw, Paul made a draw different, in a simple way. How this game could have been lost, we do not understand. Here Quang Liem's win is absolutely undeserved. But a point in the tournament was won. There are no such point fictions in Goldchess.
29-09
Our solution was a win in 74 moves. Pavel sent another, on move 70, 4 moves earlier than ours, but there is no prize, because we in turn shortened his solution by 3 moves, which disqualifies it. We show our solution and Pavel's, shortened, winning in 67 moves.

We have 2 solutions that deserve a mention. Both after time, an hour and a half. Wojciech sent the faster mate, in 32 moves, forceful in 5, with the queen. This is the fastest variant from this position and interesting in that you can mate in 32 moves with as many as three pieces. Queen, bishop or knight. The second solution, by Paul, is exactly our variant. An honorable mention plus a symbolic $5, as it is well after the time. Thanks and congratulations. See both games in -Winners.

GC2 - May 14. More difficult task. Mate on move 29 with the capture of the queen. WInner Pawel Jaworski. Congrat
GC1 May 7
A different thought, a different concept from our.... But an original game and worth presenting. Only one solution and overall turnout meagre, and these are after all the games of a world champion... The prize is won by Wojciech Filip, time 10 minutes.
Congratulations

Grandmaster Corner Competition 9 April
In general, there are no pretty games in the submitted solutions. The players did not discover any of the three beautiful variants we have, so the competition remains unresolved.
2023-03-05
GC March 5
Content of the competition, 2 tasks, mate 43 and 44. Wojciech Filip was the first to send his solution, mate 44, after time. A different method, but a really nice variant. We are waiting for further ones.
GC February
There is a winner! In the overtime, Adrian of Cuba sent a mate in the 45th move and a different solution to ours. In -Winners we show both variants.

Competition based on the Duda-Carlsen game, lost by Carlsen. With us Carlsen wins and such a black variant should have been found from the given position. The winner is Pawel Jaworski, Poland. Congratulations!
Competition - Become the new Capablanca
There is a Big Three. The third winner in the Capablanca competition is Arman Ghevondyan from Armenia. A slightly different solution to ours, but we recognise. $10 and the N Capablanca title for Arman. Competition concluded. Congratulations to the winners.
Position from a game lost by Capablanca.
Task: mate in the 32nd move with capture of the queen
Win and earn the title of New Capablanca and a prize of $10.
The first solution was sent in by GM Yuri Gonzalez Vidal from Cuba.
There is a second winner, Adrian Rodríguez Dosina from Cuba. He receives a $10 prize and the title New Capablanca. A fresh new take on chess. Mate 31, a move faster than us. Such chess players are welcomed into Goldchess with open arms. They give us hope that thanks to such chess players as GMs Yuri Gonzalez Vidal and Adrian Rodríguez Dosina from Cuba, Armenak Yeghiazaryan, Alex Nurijanyan or Arman Ghevondyan from Armenia (Polish chess players are at the tail end here) the main idea of Goldchess, of creating beautiful games and new ideas in chess, will have effective successors and continuators. We are yet to discover our variant and, of course, the prize of $10 plus the title of New Capablanca. For the sake of simplicity we will state that it begins with the move 20.Nh2 R:h2. These are the variants and continuations that the great Capablanca missed and overlooked. Win and get a taste of greatness.

GT June. Nobody has solved. From the position after 39 moves won on the 45th move with the sacrifice of the queen (not accepted). In -The winner is shown the solution.
GT May - no one has solved. Sarana-Kuzubov 1-0 game, from the 2023 European Championship, showing the winning variant for black. Kuzubov played 25...Nf8.The move seems correct, fully justified and... the only one. But, is it really? See for yourself. In Goldchess we look at chess through the logic of multidimensional space. We played 25... Ng5! And after a possible 26.h4 we threaten a draw with 26...Be6, 27.Qg6 Bf7 etc., if white does not retire the queen-bishop battery. See the final for how Kuzubov could win this game. Goldchess original.
GT April
Defeat of players in the first game. The $150 prize for winning consecutively in GT April, May, June is forfeited. We show the solution of how this position should have been won.

GT January 2023
No one solved the first task. Everyone lost the chance to win the additional $100 prize. See the solution. Difficult?
In the December competition a chess player from India showed up, but probably a beginner, as he sent nothing. First Arman (see Screens). He played his, a different variant and sent 2 solutions, but both the opposite of what we required, first is the capture of the queen, then the sacrifice. But because they are beautiful, we reward. The second half of the prize is won by Adrian from Cuba. Adrian played our variant, we will show our variation of his continuation. Congratulations to the winners. The position after 12 moves.
GT November 20 - A very nice solution was sent after time by the Cuban master, Adrian Rodriguez Dosina. The computer does not accept the queen sacrifice and there is a mate on the 20th move. Had the sacrifice been accepted there is a beautiful mate on the 19th move.
We show in the Winners-Genius Test both variants. By way of exception, we will award half the prize. The other half prize awaits our original solution.
Congratulations. This is the way to play Goldchess.
Missing among the participants today was Grandmaster Yuri Gonzalez Vidal, who was the only one with a chance to win an extra $100. There were some good chess players today, from Armenia, Cuba and Poland, but no one solved the task in the time given. If anyone wins later, please send in a solution, we will always reward you somehow, because the variant is beautiful, just Genius Test. After the time, he sent his own variant Arman, mate in the 21st move additionally with the capture of the hetman. It receives an honourable mention.
GT October 16 - $10 prize. For 3 winning in months October-November-December extra prize for the winner - $100!
There were 20 minutes ... Only grandmaster Yuri Gonzalez Vidal sent a solution according to the conditions. The sacrifice is a bit artificial, as there is a mate of 20 in this variant, but the grandmaster is a virtuoso and since the content said - mate with capture and sacrifice of the queen, he did it. Therefore, we recognise and Yuri passes on without losing the right to the additional prize of $100. Of course, today he wins $10. The others can also play in the next edition of GT for the monthly prize, today's chess players as well as new ones. Congratulations to the virtuoso. We will also show what our solution was based on. The solution of mate 21, with capture of the queen but no sacrifice was sent by our Polish amateur Wojciech Filip. Also congratulations. We would also add that Yuri sent his solution 12 seconds before the 20-minute time limit!
GT September 11 - $25 prize. No one has solved
GT August 14. Genius Test August competition $10 prize
GT June 12 - There were only 5 moves to make in the competition. Armenak sent his solution, but it lacks the genius style, the brilliant move. Therefore there is no winner. We show both solutions, Armenak's and ours. Naext. Today, June 17, Armenak sent in solution in 3 moves!
GT May 15 - with capture and sacrifice the queen. 2 solutions, both after time.
GT April 24. No one has solved. We show the correct solution. (in -Winners-)
Nobody sent in the time given. Armenak sent 2 (effective) mats in 28 and even in 27, but neither of them is a genius solution. Who will find our variant? Besides, we have a feeling that apart from Armenak and literally a few other chess players we are surrounded by thousands of chess weaklings who can't do anything in chess. There is a Training box, you are welcome to learn, and if not, by the end of the year the inactive ones will be banned and removed from the list of registered users. In their place we will invite thousands of real, live chess players. Goldchess is great fun, but not for beginners.
GT March. 2 virtuosos from Armenia and Poland have sent in their solutions. Both after time. Armenak correctly, Pawel inversely, first capturing and then sacrificing the hetman. We divided the prize though, Armenak $15, Pawel $10. Congratulations
GT February. 2 winners: Armenak, $15, Pawel Jaworski $5. Congrat
GT January
We have two winners. First Arman, a witty solution, because the mate was already in the 29th move and white did not have to sacrifice the queen. But they sacrificed fancifully, according to the content of the task. Second Hayk, capture, sacrifice and mate with a pawn. Both $10. Congratulations. We also show our solution.

GT November (7-11-2021)- The emotions of the November Genius Test competition are behind us. The winner was Damian Sliwicki, who sent the first correct solution, his time, 2 minutes.

2019-07-09
Only one player solved. Arman Ghevondyan, Armenia. He is great! See the solution in Winners.
Genius Test - July. Here is the solution. Pay attention to its style and quality. Goldchess involves iron logic of chess and playing identical with or very similar to tournament chess. This game, starting from the given position, could be played in any chess tournament. Mate in 26 moves, with the queen sacrificed and captured. We present also our solution No. 2, which is reverse mate in 27 moves, with the queen captured and sacrificed. Take a look.
Comments. Position after 15 moves.
Goldchess is an outstanding form of chess, ideal for learning how to play. You can freely undo moves and look for other possibilities, choosing the best ones. In this game, you can play several variants and quickly work out that in this position the key black piece is the knight well positioned on g4, which defends e5 and the f4-b8 diagonal. So, how can it be eliminated? In a very straightforward way,
16.h3 Nh6 – the knight can move only in one way, after 15… Ne5, 16.Bf4 the black would lose a pawn. But how should the black queen be attacked now with tempo? This is the Genius variant, so the solution is also simple. Sacrifice the knight.
17.N:d4 ed4
18.Bf4! Qa5 continued attack with tempo
19.b4! Q:a2
20.b5 N:f5 Black captures the pawn in order to subsequently shield itself with the knight on d6
21.bc6 Wb8# mate is imminent
21…. Nd6
22.c5 Rde8 the computer defends e7 against white pawn marching after knight capture on d6.
And here is the brilliant point of this combination.
23.Qb5!!! N:b5 a beautiful sacrifice of the queen. Black must capture. Mate on b8 was imminent
24.R:b4 inevitable mate on b8 , with the rook
24…. Qb2 an act of despair
26.R:b2 Rd8

Chess is magical. Unusual. And in our case it is exactly and clearly visible. Paul sent a solution different to ours and also exactly mate on the 50th move. A different game plan, a different, different variant, and the number of moves the same. Before showing our solution, we are still waiting, maybe someone will find it. Hint: mate the queen on the field h5.

Champions games. We have been playing in the Challenge tournament since September.
Daily 300, August 26. Carlsen. FIDE World Cup Tournament, Baku 2023.
Daily 299, August 19. FIDE World Cup Women Tournament, Baku 2023 - Nurgyul Salimova
It is worth paying attention to this 20-year-old Bulgarian chess player. After playing 16 games, she is second in the table and has an impressive record of nine wins, one loss and six draws. We took on her only loss. A misunderstanding. This game she could have won easily. And that is the task of the competition. A win on move 48. Prize $10.
Daily 298, August 12. Gelfand. No one sent our solution, the competition is over. The chess players showed 3 ways to win this game with white. See the players' games and our own.
The great Goldchess competition! Prize $25. Saturday 12 August, 16:00 CET
A game from the currently ongoing Fide World Cup tournament in Baku. Gelfand-Berkes 0-1.
The experienced grandmaster, a participant in the world championship match (93, lost to Karpov in the final), playing white against the Hungarian Berkes already in the 30th move found himself in a situation where there is no defence against the mate! We rehabilitate the Israeli grandmaster in a manner worthy of a world champion. Whoever finds our variant, mate in the 40th move, will feel as if he is playing at 3000 Elo level.
Gelfand-Berkes game. Keep looking for our variant, the 40 forcing mate in 7 moves (the last 7 checks!). Participants Damian and Wojciech sent 2 mates in 40 moves, we shortened Wojciech's solution to 35 moves. See them.
Daily 296, July 29. In Wojtaszek's game, two players sent a mate in the 37th move. One after 19 minutes, Damian, the other after 51, Paul. The time to solve was 15 minutes, so both after time. However, that is not what is important here. We will say this: chess is amazing. They both sent different variants, and ours is even different. The winner was Damian Sliwicki. Congratulations to both chess players. The competition is over.

Dzagnidze-Kosteniuk 1-0. In Goldchess 0-1. 2 tasks. Mate 44 and win 49-50. Pawel Jaworski sent mate 43. We show our win.
Chess Miracles - December 10
The only candidate for the prize did not win the third game with the sacrifice of the hetman. Early on he won 2 games with one variant, 11.0-0-0. In this case this variant is no longer effective. We would like to draw the chess players' attention to one thing. If there are 3 tasks from one position, it is often the case that each starts with a different move. It is therefore necessary to learn versatility in the handling of the attack. Only in Goldchess.
See in -Winners-Chess Miracles-, how the game should have been played
Sicilian defense fun. Prize of $10 for the best who first sends 3 correct solutions in 3 consecutive weeks.
Adrian Gonzalez Dosina won today, time 6 minutes. And he is the only one playing on for $10. Adrian showed that this position can be won in 4 moves, 2 moves faster than us. Congratulations!
Candidates Tournament in brilliant Goldchess version (from July 2)
November 26. We will return to the game of champions, currently there will be single game games. We will show the pogrom variants in the Sicilian defence. The PC has won a pawn, but there is a cost of this. He has lost the castling right and the pieces are totally undeveloped. Black's defeat hangs in the air.
November 5, Nakamura-Duda 1-0. Win playing black.
October 22 - Duda-Caruana. Duda won against Caruana in the 57th move. A tired game. We will show possible faster wins in this game. In move 32, and in move 40. In the contest a win in the 32nd move with the capture of the queen.
October 15 - Ding Liren - Radjabov. No one has solved.
October 8 Rapport-Radjabow (0-1). Win playing white. The winner (in overtime) is Wojciech Filip Poland. Congratulations
October 1 Caruana-Firouzia (0-1). There were mate 42, win playing white. Nobody has solved it, we are a bit puzzled. That's why, just in case, we remind you, in our house you play chess, not checkers.
September 24. Rapport-Duda game (1-0). No one sent a solution.
September 17. Chess Miracles Contest in the Challenge tournament. The position from the Nepomniachtchi-Firouzia game, which Firouzia lost. In the competition it should have been won in the 40th move playing black. No one solved it.
Setember 10. From Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz 2022. Position from the Shankland-Xiong game. A very beautiful Goldchess win, a $50 prize task. No one won this position with our computer or the prize.
September 3. The Firouzia-Caruana game (0-1) from the Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz (2022). From this position the winning variant can be played with a weaker chess player, the draw variant with a stronger one. 3 tasks. Level 5, winning in 28 moves. At level 23 there are 3 possible draw options. A 33 (weak) draw, no. Only a draw on move 35, forceful in 10 moves, plus a draw on move 40 (41), forceful in 10 moves. For the draw task, switch CEEC to level 23. (Play-Option-Strengh-23 Level).
Report: No one has sent 3 correct solutions. We are moving the prize in full to the next competition. So on 10 September the Shankland-Xiong game with a prize of $50!
August 27 Task from Carlsen-Niemann game. We always associate the world chess champion with a king and a crown. After the loss in this game, the crown has faded slightly. We restore its shine. In Goldchess Carlsen wins and in beautiful style.
Report: Chess problem from the Carlsen-Niemann game, Carlsen's loss. The result should have been changed and won with white. Only two chess players out of more than 30 playing sent solutions in overtime. Chessstart from the US and Arman from Armenia. Our variant was discovered by Chessstart. In the position after the 30th move we played 31.Bg3, sacrificing the bishop (Carlsen played 31.h3xg4). He also played this way, and at the same time mated 4 moves earlier, and won a move earlier. Arman repeated Carlsen's move and sent only one solution, a win in the 41st move (we added a mate in this variant in the 44th move). A faster win was possible here because CEEC played a weaker move than Niemann, 31...Q:g4 (Niemann 31...B:g4). However, the repetition in the given position of the move from the original game is incorrect. One should always see what move was played in the original game and play a different one before solving. Chessstart sent in the overtime, so half the prize. Congratulations.
To the other chess players who did not send anything, let them study diligently and improve their level to send next time.
August 20 Report: We wrote that this competition for good chess players. A mate in the 27th move and a draw in the 37th. No one solved in the given time of 15 minutes. Two players sent only draws, both in 34 move, but both incorrect. Arman (Armenia) sent from a bad position, Pawel (Poland) from a good one, but both played the first move 26... Kf8. This is the way Kashlinska played and if we show this position it is to change this move, not to repeat it. Our solution is witty, it's whites fighting for a draw and they can't beat the f7 pawn because they get a mate. After time we only have Arman winning on move 25. Here Arman was close to our variant, but the mate did not send. So the $25 prize remained untouched. We'll see how the players do with the Carlsen game next week. Also the $25 prize.
The chess players' honour was saved by Chessstart from the US, sending a correct mat 27 after overtime and an effective draw in the 33rd move. A great distinction. Pity he did not fit in time to win the prize

Task from the game Muzyczuk-Kashlinskaya lost by black. Win playing black. 2 beautiful tasks. This competition for really good chess players.
Polish women at the Olympics. The decisive match against Ukraine. Muzyczuk-Kashlinskaya 1-0, Uszenina-Kiolbasa 1-0. Black day for black pieces. A match and games on which the medal depended for the Polish women.
Could it have been better? Of course. The game Marija Muzyczuk - Alina Kashlinskaya. Polish grandmaster had a 100% winning game. However, at one point she made a move which we would call - putting her head under the guillotine (19... R:g2). After that move, it was no longer possible to win. But a draw was possible. (We're straightening up. We found a win here too).
August 13 - Rapport-Nepomniachtchi game 0-1. Win by playing white. Draw 23, win 24. Brilliant Goldchess chess...
After the overtime, the Polish chess player Wojciech Filip sent us a draw in 19, as many as 4 moves faster! Congratulations!
ps. After move 22... Na6 we also have a beautiful win on move 26.

July 31 - game Shirov-Toczek 1-0. The Shirov-Toczek game from the current Chess Olympiad is a brilliant ending performed by Shirov. Could the Polish (Welsh) player have won it? Very possibly. In Goldchess, we rematch Shirov with a black win on move 34 and an equally brilliant variant. Even such brilliant games as that of Shirov have their mirror images in the black game. Diamonds vs black diamonds.
No one solved. And all you had to do was beat our educational computer, not Shirov. See our solutions.
July 30 - Game 5 Ding Liren- Radjabov 0-1. $15 prize. (postponed)
July 23 - Game 4 Firouzia-Nepomniachtchi 0-1. $25. Firouzia played 20.Kg2 and lost. And it was won by a simple 20.Rf2 (the winner's idea) or 20.Rg1 (our variant). Another set of chess beauty. See all the solutions here. The winner is Chessstart from the US. We'll let the secret out. He is the FIDE international champion.
July 16 - Game 3 brilliant game, $50 prize. Competition over! Chessstart from the US wins! See in -Winners- 8 our versions of the Caruana-Ding Liren game from the Candidates tournament. To have Caruana play like that in this game...
July 9 - Game 2 Duda-Ding Liren, draw. Win by playing white. Nobody has solved. Competition ended. There were 3 tasks. Win on move 45, win 45 with queen capture (level 5) and win on move 59 at level 23 (change level here: CEEC face-Play-Options-Strengh-23 level -ok). We showcase our solutions. Learn. Duda played the amateur move, 30th Rb3, we played the 30th Reb2 with a sacrifice of quality. The move 30.Reb2 opens the way for an attack on the black king by the queen, the bishop and the two knights. See our solution in -Winners-Chess Miracles.
July 2. Game-task from the Candidates Tournament 2022. Ding Liren-Nepomniachtchi 0-1. Win with white.
The weekend competition is over. No one found our variants and there is no winner. One player sent one correct solution, winning in 34 moves, others like ours.

Game from Summer Chess Clasic 2022, Sevian-Smirin 0-1. Prize $15.
Win by playing white. 3 tasks: mate in the 40th move, mate in the 41st with capture of the queen and in the 42nd with capture of all pieces. Time to solve 15 minutes. Nobody has solved in given time. We made the overtime.
June 18
Carlsen-Shevchenko 0-1. The position had to be won by white in the 36th move. Only 2 players have sent in solutions. Both not authored, but a move and 2 earlier. Chessstart wins, a nice, pure chess win. The Goldchess concept was slightly different, we present both solutions. And this comment. There were 36 chess players in the competition. Two only sent solutions. We wonder if the others have some kind of brain defect? Congrat for the winner, Chessstart player (US). In competition US - Europe 2:0

Player from US, nick Chessstart, sent in our contest (game So-Carlsen) mate 30 with queen capture and victory 28. He thus won the competition and the $15 prize. Great congrat! Currently. US - Europe 1:0. see all solutions
June 17 news. Armenak discovered mate in 33 move, 2 moves faster than us! But there is no win in 28 to win the prize.
Starting June 11. (a prize of $15 valid until someone sends in 2 correct solutions)
So - Carlsen 0-1. First prize $50. ($15 in overtime), Win playing black.
We win it in beautiful style in two different variants. Win 28 and mate 35 with capture of the queen. Discover them for yourself and win the prize.
This game will go down in chess history as one of the world champion's biggest mistakes. Carlsen created a winning position, played the wrong 23 move with black and... lost. It is worth seeing all the winning variants from this position, ours and our players. As of today (June 17) no 2 solutions and the prize stands.
It was up to June 11. Solidarity NOR-UKR match - $20 prize.
Game 2, Carlsen-Shewchenko. Plau white.
White win in 36th move, position after 22 moves (original position after 17 moves, we added 5 moves of solution for ease). Nobody has solved this problem from the Carlsen-Shewchenko game.

Carlsen – Navara 0-1
Navarra won with a simple trick, eliminating the bishop defending the f3 field. But from the 40th move the game was already practically lost for white. We show 2 possible draws (41...Qf6, 41...Qf8). A simple win we found from the position after the 30th move. It turns out that Carlsen's move 31.Kg1 was a weak move.
Le Quang Liem - Duda 1-0
A very strong and virtuoso game played by the winner of the tournament. After 23rd weak move of Duda it was practically unwinnable for black. From the position after the 23rd move (we change Duda's 23rd move) a draw position was reached already in the 51st move. For black the draw is 100%, while white with inaccurate play can lose the position. In Goldchess version draw plus win.

*Game 12 Carlsen-Mamedyarov 1-0.
Game 11. Esipenko-Giri 0-1. In our game white mate in 42nd move. The position we have chosen is a draw, with an indication for white. However in such equivalent positions always the one who plays better during the game wins. Position after 22 moves.
Game 9 - Duda for an encore. Losing to Caruana. A game like military manoeuvres. Mate 35. Position after 18 moves.
Game 8. Foreest lost in white to Mamedyarov. And the win was so easy... In our case a win in 44 and a mate in 33, remarkable I might add. There is a finesse trap in the game with a sacrifice of quality. Position after 15 moves. Winning 44 with the capture of 2 queens.
*Game 7. Karjakin played the routine 25. ... g6. We 25. ... Re5. A seemingly meaningless move, but, after 26.f4 it exposes the g1-h7 diagonal on which the white king and knight stand. And if white had now played 27.e5, then after 27... Bf5, 28.Q:f5 Q:d4+, they would have won in a dynamic variant on move 39. But the PC played 27.Qc3, wanting to exchange queens and free the d4 knight from being tied. Logical, but allowing black to carry out their combination. In chess the most important thing is to confuse the opponent. So that he doesn't know what we want to play and can't predict our moves and our concept. Here you have a position from the game. Download it and try to win by yourself. We have a win 41 and a defeat 45, black of course.
We will also show a variant - winning with white after 27.e5. Position after white's 25th move.
Game 4. Rapport lost to Carlsen, playing black and to Foreest, playing white. Here we already disliked Rapport's 10th move. 10.Nhf3. We played 10.N:e4. And this is probably how we should have played to win the game. In Winners/Puzzle Pop/Gold0 we present mate 34.
Game 3, Vidit Gujrathi, our 2017 patron lost to Foreest. We have a win on move 38 and a mate on move 41.
ps.
In this game the computer playing white exchanged queens on move 29. In contrast, we discovered that 28.Qh8+ Kf7, 29.Rd8 or 29.Rc1 was winning. But this is a general, common shortcoming of chess. In many tournament games later analysis shows that one could have played stronger and not lost, or played stronger and won. It happens with us too. The computer plays at a certain level, lowered additionally in our case from 23 to 5, so that it is fun and the players can win. Nevertheless, our reality is close to the level of 90% of the world's chess population.
2. Today's second game, Carlsen-Giri, lost by black. The position after white's 18th move.

The match between Carlsen and Nepomniachtchi in the Goldchess version
In our version of the match we show different chess than that presented to us by the two best chess players in the world. First of all it is spectacular, full of new concepts and techniques that both masters would be proud of. We extracted everything, or almost everything, from the same positions, and certainly what the masters who presented the style of mathematical chess logic could not show.
The match between Carlsen and Nepo is a match between two of the best chess players in the world. It might seem that nothing can be improved here. But it turns out that you can. You have concrete examples of this in our versions of the champions' games.
Of course our match is on a much weaker level than the official one, but this makes our games more spectacular. We agree that it is possible to play differently or stronger in specific positions, but... it is the same in the games of both champions, as you will see further on.
All games of our match are here: https://www.goldchess.com/en/other/winnerslist.html#g0_wins
Comments to them: https://www.goldchess.com/en/other/gamesnews.html#gld0game
Game 1.
Mate 31, by Lukasz Luba, a fun game, because CEEC plays 24... B:c1, and after 24... Rd6 white loses. The second our variant is won on the 34th move, a less impressive but already more strongly played game. A small note, in this game the version of the Spanish game performed by white does not impress.
Game 2.1
We rate our move 20.Bg5 as stronger than Carlsen's forced and barren move 20.Rb1.
After our move we gain tempo and countermoves. In this game being at a loss of quality Carlsen fights white for a draw.
Game 2.2
In variant 2, from the position after 30 moves instead of the return 31.Nd6 played by Carlsen, we play the much stronger 31.Sf6, which is the beginning of a brilliant combination worthy of the level of the world champion. With us is win 41 and mate 45 with the capture of all figures.
Black is helpless... One of the most beautiful Goldchess combinations in this match.
In general Nepo played inaccurately here. After 30.N:e4 he played 30... Kh8, making possible our second truly remarkable combination. Our educational computer played more strongly, 30...Qc6. (a7 pawn untouchable, because Rb1#).
Game 3
We changed white's 13th move. 13.Ne3 is unacceptable even for our amateur. It's an insult to the professional Nepo and a slap in the face to Carlsen, who was put in a situation where he can't cope with an opponent making moves at amateur level. Comparatively, Korchnoi's unconventional, historic move, after 1. e4 e5, 2, Nf3 Nf6, 3.Bd3, in a game which he incidentally won, seems to be a brilliant move. But that was at the beginning of Korchnoi's game. In this game, the move 13.Ne3 is a nightmare in the underbidding position. Besides, it moves white's activity to the queen's wing, which ends up as in the game. Mr. Pretender, the king to mate is on the king's wing.
In our case, mate 27 and a virtuoso, very strong attack. Cuban grandmaster Yuri Gonzalez Vidal gave mate here in 25 moves, see
https://www.goldchess.com/en/other/winnerslist.html#gcdailypaid
Game 4
Position after 14 moves. Carlsen's move 15.Qb5, after black's easily predictable reply 15...Qd7 with exchange of queens is not good. Carlsen practically eliminates the attacking power and the white attack itself. To himself.Our conception of the game and attack according to Goldchess is different. Our variant is winning in 28th move. In this game we rub shoulders with Capablanca's genius. Everyone who discovers our solution will feel the same. Black surrenders in the 28th move, because after 28... Kh8 there is a threat of 29.Qf7! Here I will add that after 24...Q:a2 black also loses. In our variant, it is possible to win less impressive on the 27th move.
Game 5
A difficult win because in this game, unlike the previous ones, both greats played well, accurately and precisely. But it worked. We changed move 16, we have win on move 32 (31) or mate on move 32.
Game 6
At last a resultant game. Carlsen bravely exchanged his queen for 2 black rooks and won on move 136. Nepo defended for a long time. We of course perversely found a draw and a win for black, winning with our CEEC. A draw Nepo could realistically achieve, while with a win it would be rather difficult.Carlsen is not CEEC and would probably play stronger, differently. Today's task is a draw in move 60.
Game 7
In the match a draw, in ours a straight win on move 38, after exchanging queens, and 33-38 (by Vitaly and Armenak). To us, the computer played the 22nd move differently.
Nepo did not see the counter chance hidden in this position. He played a seemingly strong 22. de5, which after a series of schematic exchanges gave a draw position. We have a different vision of attacking and winning. Discover it for yourself.
Game 8: A draw game, and Carlsen outplayed Nepo at the end like a kid with a ranking of 1000. 28... Qa5? Qd5 should have been played ruthlessly, still giving a draw chance. In general after this game the match became ridiculous. In our case black won on move 39-40, from the position after move 24.
Game 9
In game 9 we achieved a draw without any problems. A draw at move 31 in the play version, when CEEC makes the mistake of beating the a1 rook, and a draw at move 32 in the serious version.
Could Nepo have won this game? Of course. We have a win in 26-29 and a mate on move 31 with the capture of the queen.
Game 10
The idea of queens exchange. In the white game this is almost a mistake (see also game 4). The lack of a queen severely weakens the attack, and white is after all the colour of the first move. Therefore in this game our idea was to protect the white queen from exchange. And it worked out well for white. Winning 22 move with capturing the queen, mate 23 and draw 23. Of course wins are easier to get here, because CEEC doesn't have the playing strength of Carlsen or Nepo, but he plays correctly, according to chess rules. Like 90% of chess players. And for them our games are exemplary.
Game 11.1
After 11 games we can only say: this is no longer a match. It is a slaughter. See how we won the 11th game with white. The key is 15.Sd5! It's a pity Nepo didn't see it and played 15.Wad1, a move without deep sense and concrete plan.
Game 11.2
Second chance for Nepo to win this game.
The game has a so-called second bottom, second face, won by white from the position after black's 32nd move. Nepo plays stiff, hopeless 33.R:f1. We play the fine 33.Kf2. This is a trap. If black now plays the reflexive, mechanical 33...Nc2, saving the knight, he has lost the game, because 34.ec7 follows. See also this our version of game 11.

It appears that Anand is the only one out there who knows how to play chess. And reportedly in India there are over 100 million chess players… If it’s true, then show us your skills.

Game 1 - $500
3 mats with pawn. 31.f4 mate (with sacrifice of 2 pieces plus 2 qualities), 31.g4 mate, 31.f7 mate.
Goldchess masterpiece. Three mats of 31 with pawns from one position. The most difficult of all sets of difficult games (difficult games, 1% of our chessbase). In our opinion, chess players will probably only do them in about 600 years. But one should try.
Game 2 - $100
We won this position on move 30. Win another way and move faster than us.
Game 3 - $50
You play black, draw on move 38, win on the 38th move with the capure of the queen, and mate on the 40th move with capture and double queen sacrifice (sacrif.not accepted-capture-sacrif2). Game mate 40 on the Goldchess beauty scale, 5 pluses out of a possible 5. Comparable to Andersen's immortal game.
A position from the Lazov-Piorun game, lost by the Polish grandmaster in 2024 at the Chess Olympiad in Budapest.
Here, reverse the result, achieve a draw and win it twice with black as given.
In Rapid mode, 45 minutes for 3 games, no chess player in the world can win this. Even though these wins were achieved by our analysts, chess amateurs. They will also ‘fall’ on them, already without a time limit, most chess coaches. In theory, the matter is simple. You have to win a given, winning position, in a certain way, with our educational computer (1500 Elo). In practice, however, it is not so simple.
To put it jokingly, this is an exam for 2999 Goldchess Elo.
Game 4
Win in 6 moves
This game (only 6 moves) has already been won once by one of our participants. However, we give it here to chess players to show that Goldchess is universal chess, but requires logic and creative thinking. And that only a few will win this position. And it is not about rating at all, but about imagination, intuition, the ability to look at chess intelligently and unconventionally. Without the prize. Because the prize here is the satisfaction of winning this game in 6 moves. 2500 Goldchess Elo
