Our analyses represent a breakthrough in chess. They set a new direction in the development of chess, the way the game is played, and chess creativity. They teach modern chess. Our visions and methods of attack are new and different from those employed by contemporary chess players. That is why we are taking the initiative and offering a powerful dose of our knowledge.
For advanced players, we have the book ‘500 Goldchess Games’. Watch the trailer. Once you’ve watched it, you’ll realise that this is an extraordinary book, unlike anything else in the entire chess literature.

We also invite you to learn at our Chess Academy, which offers courses for all levels. In the basic course, we’ll teach you more in 10 hours than other coaches do in a year.

The third element of our education programme is our tournaments, where everyone can test their own level of chess proficiency in practical play, learn new techniques and significantly improve their game. You don’t need to be a grandmaster to take part; you just need to play according to the principles of chess. If you don’t know how to play, you’ll learn quickly with us.

===============================================================
UzChess Cup Masters Tournament
Special feature.
We return to Round 4, to the Nepomniachtchi–Abdusattorov game, which ended in a draw (on move 81).
This game was featured as the ‘Game of the Day’. We simply cannot understand why, as Nepo did not show anything special in this game; if anything, he made a mistake with 57.g6, after which, instead of winning, he drew. After our 57.Nd7, regardless of whether Black takes the knight or not, they lose. But that’s not all. We’ve reviewed the entire game from the start and found a draw as early as move 50, so why play on until move 81? Furthermore, there’s a checkmate on move 43 and a brilliant win on move 45. In other words, things that Nepo failed to spot and didn’t play. It’s difficult to comment on this, because we can’t exactly write that a former challenger doesn’t know how to play chess. But let’s put it this way: Nepo plays like Stockfisch, who, although he boasts a 3500 Elo rating, didn’t win a single game out of 100 against Alpha 0. We won’t show the 43rd-move checkmate or the 45th-move win here; they’ll feature in our Top or Immortal tournaments. Anyone who wins them will feel immense satisfaction, and will receive 3,000 Elo from our ranking. Because to win these games, you need to play at that level. However, with a little imagination, virtually any chess player can win them and earn 3,000 Elo. By the way, this is exactly what the Goldchess style is all about, and this is how we teach people to play.
Round 9
The tournament is over. Madaminov, the lowest-ranked player in this group, has won. Abdusattorov, the highest-ranked player, finished sixth.
And finally, the sensation of this round. Madaminov’s victory depended on the Niemann-Madaminov game. It ended in a draw, but had Niemann won, Madaminov would not have won the tournament. So we took a closer look at that game. Black were losing and lost in our analysis. Madaminov made a weak move, 74… c4, and the draw only occurred because Niemann also played a weak move, 75. Rh1. We have a winning position on move 90; the computer suggested the move 74… Kg6, but even after that move, Black loses even faster, on move 84. See both winning games. In our opinion, the whole group needs further training at Goldchess.
Round 8
Abdusattorov, who had a clean slate, suffered a defeat, and that against Theodorou, who is currently in last place. Probably tournament fatigue. Nodirbek sacrificed his rook and resigned. After the rook was taken, we comfortably secured a draw.
Round 7
Nothing interesting in Round 7. No changes at the top; Gujrathi won his first game, the rest were draws.
Round 6
Nepo-Erigaisi 1-0 We secured a win for Black and a beautiful draw involving the sacrifice of the queen. Goldchess is modern chess, with different strategies. For those wishing to learn more, we recommend a solid dose of our expertise: our latest book, ‘500 Goldchess Games’, on the back cover of which we wrote: ‘without knowledge of Goldchess, one cannot be a good chess player today’. And that is a fact.
Round 5
The two lowest-ranked players in this group, in 1st and 2nd place. Well done! Vokhidov beat Nepo and consolidated his lead, whilst Madaminov, playing black against Mamedyarov, moved up from 6th to 2nd place. We won’t analyse their games; we’ll just look at the draw between the titans (the Abdusattorov-Erigaisi game), the highest-ranked players in this group. We won with White, but… It turns out that our computer, like any chess player, also makes mistakes or imprecise moves that allow us to win. And that is the case in this game. The a4 pawn should not have been captured; instead, the king should have been moved to defend at that moment. In the second variation, Black captures the rook on f5 and loses as a result. Take a look at both games.
4. Goldchess – the future is here
In the fourth round, there were more shake-ups. Madaminov suffered his second defeat and dropped to 6th place. The leader also changed; following his win, Vokhidov took the top spot, whilst Nodirbek slipped to second place. Apart from that, nothing of note. So let’s now look at the defeat of former challenger Nepomniachtchi in the first round against Madaminov. We can see the winning move. We don’t know whether Nepo overlooked it or simply couldn’t be bothered to calculate the variations after it? Exactly. At Goldchess, we don’t calculate variations. And that’s what we teach. Calculation is a chess relic from the last century. An unnecessary burden and excessive strain on the brain. In our assessment, we use imagination and intuition, which allow us to take a visionary view. Thanks to this, we spotted the move that Nepo didn’t make. We made it and won in 50 moves. The move to play was 25…Q:c3. Take a look at the game.
Round 3
Madaminov, who had led for two rounds and had the lowest rating in this group,
lost to Vokhidov and ceded the lead toAbdusattorov (the highest-rated player in this group, 2777).
After 50 moves, Black, down a pawn, is losing. But before that, it’s a matter of move selection, and it’s either a draw or a win. In the winning variation, there is also a draw on move 53, quite interesting and very instructive. We’ll show it here.
2. Nepo-Vidit Gujrathi 1-0
2 rounds, 2 defeats. We took an interest in two losses by Vidit, who was the patron of our website in 2016. At the time, he was a rising star of Indian chess. In the game against Nepomniachtchi, the problem arose when Black lost their queen on move 31. And Vidit couldn’t cope. We, however, did, and we have a draw as early as move 45 and a win on move 50. This was possible because Nepo played poorly, making 32. N:e6 (he should have played 32. K:f1). After that, Black’s win was within reach; all that was needed was to play precisely. And Vidit played well, but only for three moves. The fourth move was a home run and that was that. We’re showing real chess in this game.
Round 1
Mamedyarov-Vidit Gujrathi 1-0
This could have ended in a draw. Here, too, we capitalised on Mamedyarov’s inaccuracy, 40.Rb4, which gave us a tempo advantage. We have a draw on move 55 and stalemate on move 60. This is how you can learn to play with us. We teach modern chess. Our vision and methods of attacking differ from those used by contemporary chess players.
