| An Englishman: Good Evening: As a Caro-Kann man, I heartily approve of Blatny's record with this defense. |

| zatoichiicc: I know Blatny as a person. I also like the way he plays chess.
If you ever run across Pavel in person, you will find that he is a nice and personable person. Not stuck up in the slightest. No bad or condensending attitude with him. He also has a very good reputation with tournament directors. |

| Silman: Kovacevic(yes the same 1970 conqueror of Bobby Fischer) writes of Blatny (after obsevring the opening 1d4,c5; 2c3, from the game Blatny-Chernyshov 1992)..."Occasionally grandmaster colleagues joke about Blatny's opening play (the London System may be his most ambitious weapon with white). He is able to play at a good grandmaster level with a relatively harmless set of openings mainly because of his tactical ability. Can it be that the energy he saves by his opening approach allows him to invest a little more in his middlegame play?" |

| OneArmedScissor: "energy he saves"
Opening is memorization. Don't wanna waste too much energy on remembering those openings :P |

So called Blatny´s immortal is unfortunately missing in this database, is somebody able to include it? Of course with the fantastic line (Rh7!!!!) that Blatny missed when Knight alone mates against whole black army. |

| Karpova: i'm not able to include it but i was looking for it also. maust have been played at a fide ko-wm - 1997 or 1999 |

| Mameluk: ??? :-) Of course Blatny has never played FIDE K.O. and neither IM Watson probably. It was played at some of those North American opens, and I hope chessgames will watch the lecture and include it, because Anderssen-Kieseritzky is quite weak in comparison to this. |

| Knight13: Blatny has played some games against Joshua Waitzkin in USCF rated tournaments, and Blatny won more games and proved to be a stronger player. Of course, this was more than 7 years ago, when Josh quit showing up in tournaments in 1999. So he was probably 2600+ at that time while Josh was 2500+ (USCF rating). |

| mack: A game often hailed as a modern masterpiece - Blatny-Watson, Las Vegas 1998 - is curiously missing from chessbase, chesslab and this site. The finish is utterly spectacular:
click for larger viewHaving already sacrificed the house, Blatny (White, to play) had one last surprise. Put your engines away and find the winning move for yourself- it's worth it. |

| Mameluk: I unfortunately wrote the sollution few lines above you, but big thanks for the diagram. As I wrote, I think Blatny missed it and won some other way. |

| SwitchingQuylthulg: Happy birthday to Blatny. He's one of my favourite players, mostly because he's sensible enough to play both 1.e4 b6 and 1.d4 b6 as Black :) |

| arunjangity: and 1.b3 as white! we should rename the queen's bishop the 'blatny bishop' |

I think Vladimir Bagirov
deserves it more. |

| parisattack: <Chess Carnival: The following game is also missing in this database.. Take a look at Blatny's opening approach:> Thanks for this, Hippo Reversed; I did not have it. I have been affected with the hypermodern disease since shortly after learning to play chess in 1966. I read Chess Praxis and was hooked for life. I try to wean myself off of it from time to time - without any real success. I hate to say this but think Blatny would be 100-150 ELO higher if he wasn't also hooked. |

| whiskeyrebel: parisattack, I'm afflicted with the hypermodern bug too. Even though it's really a pretty ancient school of chess thought, it's amazing how many amateur players get upset when you open with 1.Nf3 or 1.b3 ( for instance ). I recall one lower rated opponent from just a few years ago who gave me a shocked look after my first move ( 1.Nf3) as if I had dropped my pants at the board. He scowled at me and muttered for awhile. Blatny is one of my favorites, he's simply more fun to watch than 9 out of 10 GM's. |

| blacksburg: <Can it be that the energy he saves by his opening approach allows him to invest a little more in his middlegame play?> so this is the word on the street about Blatny, and he plays the ...b6, but against 1.e4, he much more commonly plays 1...e5, and plays the Marshall Attack. so he must know a little bit of theory, right? |
