Overview of the Pretenders Tournament (1)

Caruana a contender

Caruana had a chance to become a pretender if he had won his last game against Nepo. But, he played 72.Re4. This move was not only weak. It was a mistake, after which winning was no longer possible.

And winning was easy. See how we did it in Goldchess. Black’s position is, of course, defended by our educational computer, certainly much weaker than Nepo, but that doesn’t matter. After our move Caruana would have dealt with Nepo in exactly the same way.  The game is (Chess Miracles-Winners diagram) here:

Nakamura, who had a chance to beat Gukesh in a big way in the last game, could also be a contender. In one of the earlier games, Gukesh could have been stopped by Praggna. And who knows if he wouldn’t have then gained a chance to win the tournament and become a contender. The ball is round and chess is unpredictable. We will show all these games in our next reports from the contenders’ tournament.

Goldchess chess school of life

A grandmaster comes to Goldchess. He registers, downloads the chess program and starts playing in our tournaments. If not immediately, then in a very short time he realizes that this knowledge and skills he has are not enough to win with us (with an educational computer at 1500 Elo level) and that he still needs to learn a lot. And he will see with great surprise that he has no privileged position or favorite status here.

In such a situation it is a great unknown who will win, amateur or professional. Everyone can win.

Therefore, in order to increase your chances of winning our Goldchess World Championship 2024 tournament with a prize of $100,000, on August 31, everyone should work solidly with us until then.

Chess players from all over the world are welcome to join the championship, all willing, because it is an online tournament for an unlimited number of participants.

If the top 100 chess players play in it (you are welcome to play for free) and this includes world champions Ding Liren, Carlsen, Anand and Kasparov, of course, all out of competition, without the right to a prize (See the Rules of the Championship, in the Top tournament), it will be the tournament of the century, which will provide millions of chess players and chess fans around the world with an unforgettable experience and allow them to discover a new, more beautiful world of chess.

Without counting variants, we teach a shot at the right idea, choosing the right concept in a particular position.

Goldchess – the 8th wonder of the world

Goldchess is an extraordinary project, the likes of which have not been seen since the beginning of the history of the world and chess. And it was created by practically one man, one of the 8 billion human population. In addition, a chess amateur. That also means something, in itself. As yet it is little known, but, we have not yet done a global promotion and, moreover, it was created as if too early, ahead of its time. Perhaps one of the Cuban grandmasters put it most aptly: ‘great things have always been at first incomprehensible to the public and underestimated’. It was the same with Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers”, and many other works of art or inventions. And we understand this. However, as we know the project best, we believe that today’s level of chess and chess players is nevertheless appropriate for the project to come into being and attract millions of fans who will like it or even love it. This is why it was created in the first place. Goldchess is chess for millions. So you are welcome. Whoever understands it will stay with us, whoever doesn’t, will probably join in its future incarnation. Provided, of course, that he becomes a chess player once again.

PS.

In our chess base containing more than 20,000 games and as many winnable positions, 90% are practically for everyone. 5-10% are more difficult, and a dozen of them are so difficult that perhaps chess players will only win them in 100 years. Nevertheless, each position is winnable, because let us remember that it was won with our educational computer by our amateur chess player. The more difficult ones which we present today (Grandmaster Corner diagram, position from the Duda-Carlsen game) are for good and ambitious chess players who have aspirations and want to be better or the best. And such are welcome in the first place and with open arms. You can also check your level with us. The basic qualifying level to play with us is 2 tasks received at registration, then in the Challenge tournament levels 1500-2000-3000. No matter what your FIDE ranking is, or whether you are a good amateur, check your level with us.

Goldchess – definition

Goldchess is a combined formula of fun and tournament play at a decent level. But, we are also able to rise to the heights. “Correcting” the games of the world’s best chess players from losing to winning and creating winning variants and continuations in them that they have not seen, we show that we can do something in Goldchess (in chess).

We are currently showing on our goldchess.com website, in sequence, the 15 games lost by participants in this year’s Candidates tournament. Lost by them, and won showily by us. And here’s a thought.
As one looks at their lost games, at what they played, and compares it with our won variants, (anyone can judge this for themselves https://www.goldchess.com/en/other/winnerslist.html#g0_wins ), with what could have been played in those positions and what they didn’t play, the question arises as to what they actually played and the doubt whether they, the top players, know how to play chess at all?

It looks like an insult, but I did not and do not have such intentions. So how do I explain it? I think simply.
How about in a chess match against the other civilisations of the Universe, our world would rank a respectable 99th out of 100 teams?
Is it the end of the world? No, and even if it is, Goldchess is the beginning of a new world.

I know that I know nothing

Dear chess players, in Goldchess (we exist for 10 years) we have good analysts. On our website there is a corner Chess Miracle (diagram on the main page) in which we select from various tournaments the games of mostly good, renowned chess players which they lost with black or white. And we show how they could have won them. And here we came to a surprising conclusion.

Observing the tournaments of the best (also the current Candidates Tournament) and doing the same, we come to a conclusion that they all don’t know how to play chess (yet). And we can practically demonstrate this on the basis of many games. Just compare their games which they lost, with ours, as we played to win them. They were not able to see the combinations and winning variants that we played. The crowning proof here is that our combinations contained in our database of 20,000 games are not to be found in the chessbase of about 8 million games, which means that they are unknown and maybe chess players will start playing this way in 10 or 20 years, or maybe only in the 22nd century. And Goldchess is already and available to everyone.
Therefore our tournaments are equal opportunity tournaments for everyone, grandmaster and amateur. When entering a game and playing a certain position, nobody knows how to play to win, and the winner is the one who first finds the way to win, i.e. the winning variant. And it can always be a weaker chess player or a talented amateur. No matter how you look at it, we are the vanguard of chess and everyone can learn something here and raise their level, not excluding the best players from the top 100.
Of course, they may claim that our computer plays weaker than any chess player, let’s say from the top, and that is why our wins are possible and in such a style.
Ok, we partially agree with that. But for the most part our variants are correct and effective also for the highest levels, and certainly reliable for at least 90% of the chess population. That is, the whole, millions of chess players. 

Are you a chess player outside the top 100 and want to learn real chess? Come to us, we are for you. We have a Training Box, our free one hundred games course. Once you have learnt them you will already enter other levels and become a better chess player. But you will get only the real grind in our tournaments.
Chess of the XXII century. Only with us.

You are welcome

Chess players’ dreams

Every chess player dream. For example, middle-class grandmasters, who rank out of the top 100 chess players, dream of playing against Carlsen. The minors would like to at least play in the same tournament with Carlsen or their other idol or role model.
For us, Immortal is such a tournament. Although we do not have a Goldchess world champion, you can play in this tournament alongside our best players, including grandmasters, international champions, and chess players with a rating above 1600, like Alex, who can easily match titled players. The principle that Goldchess tournaments ensure equal opportunity is confirmed. The Immortal tournament represents our sixth level, so you can experience double adrenaline thanks to the most difficult problems and the presence of the leaders. This is a tournament for the brave players who are not afraid to face any position playing against our educational computer. In addition, this tournament will already include our immortal games, whose discovery will give the player the authorship and thus a pass to the immortality of chess. Everyone will also have the opportunity to create their own version of our immortal variant, which will also make them and their matches go down in chess history. Immortal, a sixth sense tournament. Discover it yourself. Only at Goldchess.
