  Honza Cervenka: 7...g5 is a clever trap, but 7...Nxg2+ 8.Kd1 (8.Kf1 d5 9.exd6 e.p. f5 10.Qe2 Nf4 etc.) 8...d5 9.exd6 e.p. f5 10.Qe2 Nf4 11.Qe3 Bxd6 etc. would have been objectively better. After 8.0-0 f5 9.Qe3 white seems to be over the worst. Of course, 8.g3?? loses the Queen.
Jan-06-04  Nova1990: Welcome back, Honza! Since you’ve been gone, one of your games has been the puzzle of the day: Jan Cervenka vs NN, 2002 Also, there are some questions on your page: Jan Cervenka
Oct-16-04  Knight13: Bringing the Queen out too early is a mistake. 10. Qe3 Ng2+ 1-0.
Oct-16-04  Spassky69: 10 bucks says Stanton would be rated 1450 if he came to the future.
Oct-16-04  clocked: <Spassky69> Probably so; however, Staunton certainly would not.
