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+! +-

Jan-22-11    WinKing: Voted 11:00 AM EST USA & Aneta has the lead. Let's not let her down. Keep those votes coming! :) Jan-22-11    chesstoplay: My vote was # 146 at 10:18 AM CST USA Aneta has the lead 146 to 117.

Jan-22-11    chesstoplay: My vote was # 203 at 12:30 PM CST USA Aneta is tied for the lead 203 to 203. Jan-22-11    Domdaniel: Honza - Aneta now has the lead. But we must take nothing for granted. It's very close, 210 to 205. Hlasovat round the clock. Jan-22-11    Open Defence: 224 now Jan-22-11    SwitchingQuylthulg: Curiously our current main opponent seems to be getting her votes in clumps, as if from a very bad Mostly script. Jan-22-11    Honza Cervenka: Many thanks for your great support, dear friends. We are leading now. But it will be very long and very difficult race and the main favourites like Alex Loukota, Jakub Rudek or Adéla Mensová did not show their real power yet. And so vote early, vote often!:-D Jan-22-11    chesstoplay: Voted again for Aneta Cervenkova My vote was # 297 at 2:35 PM CST USA Aneta barely leads 297 to 286. To vote and help our WT member, Honza and his family, go to: http://kladensky.denik.cz/miminka/m... You may vote once an hour!!! The vote will go into the thousands.

Jan-22-11    jessicafischerqueen: Hi <Pyke>!! What's up man? You may be pleased to know that I got ahold of several history books about <Mikhail> and the Russian School, including all of <Kasparov's> "My not quite as great as me predecessors." Absolutely fascinating.... and many, many rare photos of the three-time World Champion too. Jan-22-11    chesstoplay: My latest vote was # 386 at 5:19 PM CST USA Jan-22-11    Honza Cervenka: It seems to be that our main rivals blundered badly: they went to sleep.:-) But they will be back soon. And I guess that others will arrive too. Two kids - Jakub Rudek and Alex Loukota - got more than six thousand votes per week in their baby of the month polls. We have very long two weeks ahead of us. So vote early, vote often!:-) Jan-22-11    jessicafischerqueen: Then let us rededicate our efforts to the destruction of the evil Rudek and Loukota clans- Some sources say they reside on Vader's Death Star. Jan-22-11    chesstoplay: My latest vote was # 429 at 10:42 PM CST USA Aneta leads 429 to 290. Jan-23-11    Honza Cervenka: ALERT! ALERT! Kristyna Cermakova's morning surge nearly eliminated our lead! We have 468 against 445 now while a few hours ago we were more than 100 votes ahead of them! Jan-23-11    jessicafischerqueen: I've just hilasovatted and <Aneta Vote> has 500 at the moment. Jan-23-11    Honza Cervenka: Kristyna Cermakova's surge continues and she is now some sixty votes ahead of us. Also Alex Loukota's votes are increasing rapidly. And so vote early, vote often, my dear friends. Jan-23-11    kudubux: Hello <Honza>! It is 7:35pm now in my country and I have voted for your wonderful future WGM! Jan-23-11    dakgootje: We are down by 90.. that Kristýna surely is a tough kid. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 24) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 16 OF 24 ·  Later Kibitzing>
