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.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 12 OF 24 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-26-10    jessicafischerqueen: Don't use proxies from White Plains, New Jersey. My proxy software uses IPs from that district exclusively and the HAVANTA website "got wise" to it somehow. It will still let me vote once an hour with my true Korean IP address, but it will no longer register votes from White Plains New Jersey IP addresses. I got a few dozen extra votes in before it stopped counting them though. We can't stop now they caught up 40 points today and they might have a surprise team of Star Wars fanatics lined up for the final few hours. NO STOPPING NOW Mar-26-10    jessicafischerqueen: <Deffi n' Joe> you are computer geniuses because I just voted 4:55 Korean time and ANETA is over a 100 votes ahead again Mar-26-10    David2009: 1341-1236 08.53 cet 26/03/2010 Mar-26-10    jessicafischerqueen: Brilliant! but don't let up we have to keep voting even after the contest closes. Just in case. Mar-26-10    Pyke: Well, about two and a half hours to go 1352 to 1242 votes I am very relieved - as things were tight last night - but somehow I do not trust this thing yet ... So keep voting! Mar-26-10    Honza Cervenka: Oh, it was very long and very difficult night. I spent it by canvassing of new last-minute voters and urging old ones to be awake and vote all the night. Now it seems to be that we managed to fend off and countered decisively last night's surprising surge of Michael's supporters. Still be alert for remaining time! Mar-26-10    David2009: Now 1383-1248 10:02 CET 26/03/2010 Mar-26-10    Boomie: Remember: A wounded Kladno is a dangerous Kladno. Rapid fire, yew maggots. Pour it on 'em! Mar-26-10    OhioChessFan: It looks like the late charge has been repulsed. I just crawled out of bed after a very late night of basketball, two overtimes, oy vey, and cast vote #1400. Mar-26-10    zanshin: <Another resource: use any of a number of anonymous web proxies (google for "anonymous browsing").> Thanks for the tip <MAJ> - I will have to remember that! 1410 to 1266. If I'm right, there's just 10 minutes to go. That should do it. Mar-26-10    Boomie: -> aneta wins the pennant! aneta wins the pennant! aneta wins the pennant! aneta wins the pennant! aneta wins the pennant! Mar-26-10    David2009: <Anketa jz skonola> - the poll has closed - 1415-1289. Many congratulations, enjoy your cake! Mar-26-10    SwitchingQuylthulg: Party time! Mar-26-10    jessicafischerqueen: Congratulations to your new daughter on her first ever Chess Championship victory!!!! Mar-26-10    dakgootje: A hard-fought victory! Congratulations! Mar-26-10    whiteshark: A good team effort. That's what friends are for. :D Mar-26-10    benjinathan: Well done! Mar-26-10    achieve: <<<< A-N-E-T-A >>>> <The Honz> Congratulations! Your wife has gotten what she wanted; your daughter is a WINNER! <<<< A-N-E-T-A >>>> Mar-26-10    Honza Cervenka: Paraphrasing Frodo Baggins I can say now: THE CAKE IS MINE!:-D Many thanks to all of you! Without your dedicated support we would have no chance to succeed.:-D Mar-26-10    RonB52734: Hi <Honza>. I saw your message on thrajin's forum several days ago and cast several votes. Congratulations and best wishes to you and your family! Mar-26-10    dakgootje: <whiteshark: A good team effort> Beating the likes of Arno Nickel is nothing compared to winning a prettiest-baby competition. Mar-26-10    benjinathan: Now enjoy your baby! Mar-26-10    zanshin: Congratulations <Honza> and to your wife (Janina?). Current and probably final count is 1415 - 1269. Congrats also to Michael's group - they were worthy adversaries (but they were messing with <CG> ;-)) Mar-26-10    chesstoplay: Congrats < Honza > to you, your wife... and your winner of a daughter, Aneta!! I lost track of which computer I voted from and how many times I voted, but it was FUN. Let us know what kind of cake you end up getting! Mar-26-10    dzechiel: Congratulations! It looks like there was a last minute push to ensure the victory! I will take credit for about a dozen of the votes, but I think the chessgames.com crew really rallied behind your cause.
