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+! +-

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 15 OF 24 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-09-10    chesstoplay: 4/8/2010 23:25 PM Vote # 1185 Apr-09-10    jessicafischerqueen: hilasovatski woot Apr-09-10    dakgootje: I think the voting has just ended, in which case the final standings are: Aneta Červenková, Středokluky 1208 Elen a Erik Volkovovi, Cvrčovice 131 Karel Tůma, Kladno 289 Viktorie Spilková, Vraný 153 Apr-09-10    Honza Cervenka: Many thanks to all of you for your support. This time we have won quite easily due to surprisingly low turnout, which was caused probably by time collision of the poll's beginning with Easter. Try to compare this with February (http://kladensky.denik.cz/miminka/m...) and especially January (http://kladensky.denik.cz/miminka/m...) polls to see the striking difference. There you can see also two of our future opponents in great final. It will be no cakewalk to beat them in Jauary 2011 and as the last year final poll's result suggests (see http://kladensky.denik.cz/miminka/m...), it will be necessary to get some 10,000 votes at least for win, if not much more. So be ready...:-D Apr-09-10    achieve: <Honza> You are a tyrant, a despot perhaps, but nothing will keep us from winning. WINNING!!! Apr-09-10    Honza Cervenka: <but nothing will keep us from winning> I hope so!:-D Btw, for info on forthcoming contest see my profile. Apr-10-10    achieve: Ah, thanks - that first round I soon got "mildly obsessive", but I was not alone... I'll be ready for the Grand Finale! :) May-12-10    OhioChessFan: I think the advertising rates for a month on Chessgames.com are very reasonable. Maybe an ad for Aneta on the homepage a week or two before the vote would help get the word out. Sep-25-10    thegoodanarchist: <Honza Cervenka> As one of the strong players on this website I hope you will share your opinions on what White should play on move 11 in the match with Natalia Pogonina. Thanks. Oct-14-10    imag: <Honza Cervenka> Hello, I just wanted to ask your opinion about a plan in the match with Natalia Pogonina. In this position click for larger view (note that we exchanged our DSB), what do you think of preventing Black's c5 by playing c5. click for larger view Is it positionally wrong or is it acceptable? How would you proceed as Black? Engines don't like this line at first, but then slowly start to understand the idea. The engine-preferred line goes: 17...bxc5 18. dxc5 a5 19. a3 Qc7 20. exd5 Nxd5 21. Re1 Rb8 22. Ne5 Ba6 23. f4 Qb7 24. Rb1 click for larger view Would you say that White is better in the above position? Thanks in advance. Oct-14-10    imag: <Honza> Today GM Pogonina played 15...Bxf6 and not Nxf6 as I predicted so the position from my last post is not going to happen. Sorry for troubling you. Dec-23-10    OhioChessFan: Any update on Aneta's quest to win Baby of the year? I would be glad to sponsor an advertising banner on the homepage. Dec-24-10    chancho: Happy Holidays <Honza>! Dec-29-10    Honza Cervenka: Hello, dear friends! The year 2010 is coming to its end and the poll for the baby of the year is near. I have just updated the list of already known candidates in my profile. A baby of December is not known yet and the poll is still not running (I guess it will start this Friday) and so we have at least one week to prepare our voting campaign for the great final. As you can see, our Aneta's opponents are pretty hard competition. Two of them got more than six thousand votes in their polls for the baby of the month. Of course, your assistance is much welcomed and needed...:-) Dec-31-10    OhioChessFan: The only way to get 6000 votes is by utilizing social networking sites like Facebook and Tweeter. I don't happen to participate in either, but that's how to get the mass vote out. You definitely need to get <Mostly Average Joe> involved. Dec-31-10    wordfunph: <OCH> Happy New Year! Dec-31-10    Ron: Hello, This might be a good game for your missed chances collection: Ivanchuk vs Movsesian, 2010 Jan-02-11    Honza Cervenka: <The only way to get 6000 votes is by utilizing social networking sites like Facebook and Tweeter.> It is possible to vote repeatedly - one vote per sixty minutes from one IP address. Jan-08-11    WannaBe: Dear Honza, I am pleased, and honoured, to present to you, the 2010 Caissar Award for Life Time Achievement Award. This category, is strictly decided, solely by me, (it's good to be the Roi, no?!) and after careful research, and looking back at past records, I have decided that this award, for 2010, should be awarded to you. Hearty congratulations, and we/I look forward to many many more years of contribution from you. (However, since this is a Life Time Award, and you will never ever win it again, you can now be lazy and do nothing! =) Jan-09-11    SwitchingQuylthulg: Congrats <Honza>! Very deserved. Jan-09-11    Honza Cervenka: <WannaBe> Thanks, it's a great honor for me.:-) Jan-11-11    Honza Cervenka: Attention, Aneta's friends! Time of the great final poll for the baby of the year is very near! December poll for the baby of the month will close this Friday at 12.00 CET and the great final can start anytime after that. As the December race is still running, we don't know yet the name of last challenger of our girl for sure but I have added the current leader to my profile. Jan-13-11    Honza Cervenka: The December poll is very dramatic race and now it has a new leader Iveta Kovaøíková with 2137 votes ahead of Adéla Mensová with 1972 votes! I have added new leader of December poll into my profile. Jan-20-11    Honza Cervenka: ATTENTION!
