Honza Cervenka Member since Sep-04-02 · Last seen Jan-02-26 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-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 M A Tabatabaei, 2025    Honza Cervenka: 30...Bxc4 was necessary. Black was badly spanked for his too passive approach to this game.      Dec-29-25 K Tsarouhas vs X Mastalerz, 2016    Honza Cervenka: <goodevans><I reckon Black actually played <58...Rf4?>> It looks quite plausible. And the continuation making most sense could be 58...Rf4 59.h7 Kg7 60.h8=Q+ Kxh8 61.Kg6 Kg8 62.c6 Rf2 63.c7 Rg2+ 64.Kf6 Rc2 65.Rxa2 Rc6+ 66.Kg5 Rxc7 etc. In this line 61.Kg6 ...      Dec-27-25 Schlechter vs J Bendiner, 1893    Honza Cervenka: This is one of those mating attacks, which is played by itself. Instead of 23.Rxh5 I was considering more prosaic 23.e6 Qf8 24.Qe4, which practically forces 24...Qf5 25.Qxf5 Nxf5 26.Bxf5 with decisive advantage of white but Schlechter's solution led to a forced mate.      Dec-18-25 Jansa vs Suetin, 1974   Honza Cervenka: 23.Qd1 with intention 23...Rac8 24.Ne4 would have been better. In the game 24.Ne4 allows 24...Nxe4! with idea 25.Bxd8 Rc1+ 26.Rf1 Nf2+ 27.Kg1 Nxd3+ 28.Bxb6 Kf8 ⩱      Dec-18-25 Jansa vs Smyslov, 1974   Honza Cervenka: 21.h4 and double trade on f5 led to deadly attack of black. 21.c4 followed by 22.Ra3 was the best way to meet Smyslov's planned 21...f5.      Dec-15-25 Velimirovic vs G Tringov, 1971   Honza Cervenka: Quite sad end for black Rook.      Dec-04-25 P Szakolczai vs M Donko, 1990   Honza Cervenka: I guess that the result should be rather 1-0 here. At least, 32.Rc2+ Kb7 33.Rxd5 Rxd5 34.Rc7+ Ka8 35.Bxe4 leads to a forced mate, for example 35...Re8 36.Rc8+ Rxc8 37.Bxd5+ Rc6 38.Bxc6#.      Dec-04-25 E Gereben vs O Troianescu, 1952   Honza Cervenka: If 19...h5(?), then 20.Ngf6+! +-

Come on Chessgamers, let's see some ingenuity and figure out a way to stuff the ballot box! 1183-1139 at 21:26 EDT Mar-25-10    OhioChessFan: 21:41 EDT 1192-1156 This is getting much too close. 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    jessicafischerqueen: Thanks so SEVEN HOURS to go and luckily I'm home early from work so I will pitch in with more promotion as the day goes on- Also, I have 5 proxies ready now so I can vote 6 times each hour. 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").
