Honza Cervenka Member since Sep-04-02 · Last seen Jan-10-26 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.)

Jan-09-26 J Cervenka vs P Kopta, 2026   Honza Cervenka: If 57...Ke4, then 58.Ke1! f3 59.Bg3 f2+ 60.Bxf2 exf2+ 61.Kxf2 +-      Jan-07-26 Short vs Kramnik, 1996   Honza Cervenka: It looks like white forgot to insert 45.Bxg7+ with idea 45...Kh7 46.Qf4 +-. Or did he miss that after 46.Qh6+ black has 46...Qh7? Anyway, instead of 42...Bh6(?) black should have played 42...Qf5 43.Rh2 Bf4 with decisive attack. 41...Bxe3 was also inaccurate for eventual ...      Jan-06-26 Kramnik vs Short, 1995    Honza Cervenka: Ugly 20...Bc8 was the only chance to avoid quick disaster, though white's advantage would be still great and probably decisive anyway.      Jan-06-26 Capablanca vs Lasker, 1924   Honza Cervenka: <which begs the question if Honza was here on the 30th June why did he not wish me a happy birthday?> Mea culpa!      Jan-06-26 Smyslov vs G Ilivitsky, 1952   Honza Cervenka: Instead of 14...Nd4 it was correct to play 14...gxf5. Also 15...gxf5 would have been a lesser evil. 16...Bxh6 was another mistake but the position of black was then bad anyway.      Jan-06-26 T Luther vs O Touzane, 1990   Honza Cervenka: This is quite strange coincidence. But first 10 moves are just a standard opening line, and most of moves after black's three consecutive mistakes (14...Nd4, 15...Bxe4 and 16...Bxh6) are more or less forced or at least fairly obvious.      Jan-05-26 A Pomar vs Hort, 1965   Honza Cervenka: Instead of 15.Nf6+ white should have played 15.Qxf7+ Kxf7 16.Ng5+ Kg8 17.Nxh3 exd4 18.Nxd4 Nxd4 19.exd4 Bxd4 20.Rb1 with roughly equal game.      Jan-02-26 N Theodorou vs L Dominguez Perez, 2025    Honza Cervenka: 37.Rb7! was a lovely shot. But black's position was already precarious anyway. For example, 36...f6 37.Qg3 Rc6 38.h6 Qe7 39.Nxe6 +-, or 36...Nf5 37.Bxf5 exf5 38.h6 f6 39.Qg3 Rb8 40.Nd7!! +-      Jan-02-26 A Elo vs Fischer, 1957   Honza Cervenka: 42.c4 was absolutely incomprehensible move giving black practical chance to play for win. 46.Kg3 was decisive mistake but it was just a logical consequence of the bad decision made four moves earlier.      Jan-02-26 Goutham Krishna H vs A Tabatabaei, 2025    Honza Cervenka: 30...Bxc4 was necessary. Black was badly spanked for his too passive approach to this game.

Email your friends, IM your neighbors, but get out the vote! Mar-25-10    OhioChessFan: 22:00 EDT 1201-1169 I wonder if Chessgames.com would entertain a one day purchase of an ad on their homepage linking to the voting site. I would gladly pay for it.

Mar-25-10    MostlyAverageJoe: <Honza Cervenka: 1240 to 1203 now.> Yeah, looks like their ballot stuffing script was not written to handle slow response of the voting website and got stuck... Mar-26-10    zanshin: <MAJ> Didn't you write a ballot-stuffing script too? If so, we could use it. Mar-26-10    Honza Cervenka: 1254 to 1205 at 5:25 CET. The night attack seems to be repulsed for now. But don't stop to vote, they did not say their last word in this contest. Mar-26-10    MostlyAverageJoe: <zanshin: <MAJ> Didn't you write a ballot-stuffing script too? > Alas, I am working, and cannot afford to toggle the DSL. Anyone with a macintosh (Deffi ?!?!) should be able to use the Automator application to script the DSL toggle and voting. But I am logged into several computers at work, each having one vote. Another resource: use any of a number of anonymous web proxies (google for "anonymous browsing").
