Honza Cervenka Member since Sep-04-02 · Last seen Jun-18-13 I live in Stredokluky (a village near Prague, Czech republic). I play both practical and correspondence chess. My rating in practical chess (Czech national ELO) oscillates somewhere between 2010 and 2060, in correspondence chess I have rating 2155 (my best was 2220 in the middle of 90's). I have no special favorite player but I like to view good games of old masters (Tarrasch, Schlechter, Chigorin etc.)

Jun-11-13 Ftacnik vs Dvoirys, 1982   Honza Cervenka: Tarrasch's Rook decided the game in black's favour.      Jun-11-13 Gunsberg vs NN, 1907    Honza Cervenka: It is hard to believe it but after 13.Bd2 black is lost despite of his extra queen and exchange. Of course, 12...Bxc2, which cuts white's mating net was necessary. On the other hand 17.c3 was more precise as after 17.g3 Rh7 18.gxh4 Rxf7 19.Rxf7 cxd5 20.exd5 Kxd5 21.Rxb7 white      Jun-10-13 Bannik vs Lilienthal, 1955   Honza Cervenka: After 51....Qxd6 52.exd6 Rd7 53.Nd4 Kf6 54. Nb5 the ending is utterly hopeless for black.      Jun-10-13 K Maedel vs J Scholz, 2000   Honza Cervenka: Well, this is quite instructive game to show children, how not to play chess. Of course, I mean the black here. White on the other side played it well though it was quite easy task for her to tear black apart.      Jun-10-13 Kramnik vs Topalov, 1996   Honza Cervenka: 39....Qd3! would have been much stronger.      Jun-10-13 Short vs Gelfand, 1996   Honza Cervenka: Pretty finish. Black King and Bishop cannot stop all white Pawns.      Jun-07-13 Spielmann vs Bogoljubov, 1920   Honza Cervenka: Crazy game as much as one could have expected from these two chess fighters. But far from perfect to put it mildly. 17.f4??! or 19...Rxh2??! (19...f3 ) is something absolutely fine in a skittle coffeehouse game but not ...      Jun-05-13 V Petrov vs Flohr, 1936    Honza Cervenka: It is quite hard to believe that black was able to win with such a bad Bishop. But Petrov was not patient enough for just passive defense, and so he became a bit "cooperative" this time.      Jun-05-13 Opocensky vs K Skalicka, 1936   Honza Cervenka: <Moszkowski012273: 17.Nd5 was actually incorrect for the position. And 25...g6 would of drawn (or even won) for black.> There is nothing wrong with 17.Nd5, although simple 17.Rac1 was even better. White attack lost its momentum only after incorrect 20.Be3?! while ...      May-31-13 Boleslavsky vs Kotov, 1950   Honza Cervenka: I think that 10...c5 was not a problem here. The troubles arrived only after 13...Bd7. Kotov was on the ropes most of time after that but still he could have survived if he would have avoided fatal mistakes 40...Kxd6? with next 41...Rd8? (41...Rf8 was still better though ...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 18 OF 19 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-25-11    chesstoplay: < higherlevel > How much for 15,000 votes? But... must be legal!!!! Paypal is fine for me -- I might foot the bill if it is real and legal. Your problem is that I'd only pay after the votes appear. Jan-25-11    Golden Executive: <higherlevel Member since <Jan-25-11> · Last seen Jan-25-11> <higherlevel has kibitzed 2 times to chessgames> No comments....... Jan-26-11    higherlevel: Of course this is legal!!! Because this is one rule 1x ip per hour. I offered for Honza Cervenka not for you, but if you can sent 15thousand votes it will be 20$.I send 3000 and you pay after 10$ then 8T you pay 5$ etc. PS Jakub Rudek had 50votes and for now he have 3000votes per night! Jan-27-11    Honza Cervenka: Call for Aneta’s voters! Vote early, vote often! The situation has changed quite dramatically in last two days after arrival of the second main favourite (at least according to statistics of previous rounds posted above in my profile) Jakub Rudek. Once again we see huge mass of votes coming in at one moment, which indicates quite clearly voting machine sending votes via list of available proxy servers. This is extraordinary situation, which calls for extraordinary means! <higherlevel>, can you contact me by e-mail jan.cervenka@soc.cas.cz, please? I am also looking for a few volunteers around the globe willing to devote an hour or two a day to sending of votes manually via a list of proxy servers, which I can provide. Jan-27-11    OhioChessFan: <honza> please don't be taken in by <higherlevel> Jan-27-11    Honza Cervenka: <OCF> I am in very difficult position here. I have persuaded many people to send us votes and they were doing it regularly with great enthusiasm at the beginning but now they see that we have no chance against automatic bulk voting by Rudek, Loukota and Veverka and they are losing interest. I spent three nights in row by trying to keep pace of our voting with Loukota's machine but I cannot do it for 24 hours a day. And with Rudek's five thousand votes per day I cannot compete at all. It is just physically impossible to send manually so many votes alone, even when using proxy servers. Jan-27-11    OhioChessFan: I meant, don't believe that someone can send 3000 votes a day for you if you pay them. Jan-27-11    OhioChessFan: It is obvious to me that the leader can manipulate the vote total at will. I expected to see what is in fact happening now: Take a big lead, and then stop the vote machine so that it doesn't get too far out of hand. Right now 9:30 PM EST, there are 10,939 votes for Jakub R. That hasn't budged in the past hour and I expect it won't for some time. But let anyone catch up a little and you'll see the votes skyrocket again. I think I'd let someone have the win if they want it that bad. Jan-27-11    chesstoplay: < Honza >, < I am in very difficult position here. > But you are not alone!! I voted 10 times yesterday, for example. I suggest that you personally go to the main thread of the World Team game and ask for help there. < OCF > and I have carried the ball there for you. Maybe if you directly -- and repeatedly -- make the request, you will see more of your chess friends step in and step up. Please know that you have many friends here!! Aneta is a sweet girl and she is lucky to have such a fine father!! Best of luck... and remember, the battle is not over just yet. Jan-27-11    OhioChessFan: So for 2 1/2 hours there hasn't been ONE VOTE for the leader. Not one. I'm shocked some idle voter hasn't cast a vote. And yet there still sits 10,939 votes generated in 3 days? That person clearly has the capability of running a vote total of 30,000. But for appearance's sake, they have shut down their voting mechanism, whatever it is. I think there is simply no beating that machine. I wouldn't mind at all if nobody voted for any of the candidates and the winner's total stayed at 10,939 for the next week. Jan-27-11    chesstoplay: < OCF> I saw that, too, when I voted at 10 PM CST USA. Jan-28-11    Honza Cervenka: <I meant, don't believe that someone can send 3000 votes a day for you if you pay them.> In principle it is possible and in fact not very difficult for someone knowing something about computers. Sending votes via a huge list of public proxy servers is one and very simple way to do it. Unfortunatelly, I don't know how to program the comp to do it automatically, but anybody with basic knowledge on this field can do it easily. Jan-28-11    tpstar: <Honza Cervenka> 1) Congratulations on the successful birth of your child! The miracle of life is always top priority, and give thanks for a healthy daughter. 2) The massive voting swings over the last few days indicate the contest is rigged. In that context, I believe you are spending too much time trying to gain votes the "old" way. 3) Please remember that many posters view these online polls as exercises in vanity only, and somewhat distasteful. Best wishes to you and your family. =) Jan-28-11    chesstoplay: Just cast vote # 4655 1/28/2011 3:20 PM CST USA Jan-28-11    chesstoplay: Just cast vote # 4737 1/28/2011 6:15 PM CST USA Jan-29-11    Honza Cervenka: Here are a few useful links for those, who wish to send Aneta more than just one vote per hour: http://www.newipnow.com/?key=snv8k http://www.publicproxyservers.com/p... http://anonymizer.in/anonymizer/ http://mada.cz/anonymizer/ http://www.hidemyass.com/ http://www.katedrala.cz/ Just pick a proxy server from the list, insert URL of poll a vote!:-) Jan-29-11    chesstoplay: Just cast vote # 5314 1/29/2011 4:00 PM CST USA Jan-29-11    chesstoplay: Just cast vote # 5480 1/29/2011 ~ 8:00 PM CST USA Jan-30-11    chesstoplay: Just cast vote # 6174 1/30/2011 4:15 PM CST USA Jan-31-11    higherlevel: Guys, I called to Honza Cervenka and I explained that is no problem add plus 100thousand of votes, but here is morality problem. I voted for Alex, but when i saw Rudek and Veverkas that they for 10minutes add 800votes I resign. As Honza sad that is the challenge, but not for me.

My goal is to get Aneta over 7,000 votes. You will always be able to tell her that she had the most friends world wide that were actually casting votes. She will always know how respected her father was (is)! You will be able to let her know that one good friend is better than many machines making other machines do electronic chores. You are a good father, husband and friend to the World Team. Oh, and by the way, you will also be able to tell Aneta that she had by far the prettiest baby photo!! Finally, by my tally, Aneta wins becase she has you as a Dad. Be well, my friend, and bring peace and joy to your daughter's life Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 19) < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 18 OF 19 ·  Later Kibitzing>		Take the Premium Membership Tour
