Honza Cervenka Member since Sep-04-02 · Last seen Jan-08-26 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-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 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 ...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 8 OF 24 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-23-10    WannaBe: You now have a lead, small, but a lead! Mar-23-10    hms123: <Honza> I was number 495 (my fifth vote)--you are ahead! Mar-23-10    jessicafischerqueen: I also voted for your new baby- she looks a bit like Symon Winawer. Well maybe Symonetta Winawer. Actually I recognized your avatar as Winawer- You finished in second place in the great Paris Chess Congress of 1867, ahead of Steinitz! Congratulations and Aneta appears to be pulling away now. Jess Mar-23-10    benjinathan: That Michael is very persistent. Why do I think there is some Star Wars website where the friends of Michael's father are busy casting votes... Mar-23-10    jessicafischerqueen: <benji> if we all keep voting every hour on the hour, MIchael Vader will be defeated. Mar-23-10    jessicafischerqueen: I've just voted a second time, Michael still trailing. This reminds me of voting in Korea! (they don't have "strict" electoral oversight here) Mar-23-10    benjinathan: <MIchael Vader will be defeated.> LOL. I had to do some work and missed a couple chances so I have voted only 6 times. I plan to set my alarm every hour over night to cast my full quota. I think this is how Kennedy won Chicago. Mar-23-10    jessicafischerqueen: When do we break out the nightsticks? Mar-23-10    benjinathan: The advantage we have is that (except for his mother of course) all of Michael's voters will soon be going to bed. Meanwhile, our eastern block is just waking up. Mar-23-10    Boomie: 563-545 Aneta is pulling away from the evil Kladno. But don't let your guard down. The returns from Cook County aren't in yet and the Kladno's have connections in the mob there. Mar-23-10    Boomie: Also beware of last minute baby stuffing antics. The Kladnos have 4 ponies in the race and may try to consolidate before the finish line. Mar-23-10    SwitchingQuylthulg: <MIchael Vader will be defeated.> If Michael wants to be a Dark Lord, he's certainly off to a good start. He's barely a week old and a lot of people already see him as the principal enemy. Is that noon or midnight Czech time? We'll look really stupid losing this by stopping voting 12 hours early... Mar-23-10    jessicafischerqueen: <Switching Owls for Thugs: a Brankat Avatar Keeper> is correct. We must assume nothing and keep voting each hour. I plan to keep voting for at least three days after the contest finishes. Mar-23-10    jessicafischerqueen: lol <Owls> Bart Simpson: "I'm only 8 years old and I already have three mortal enemies" Mar-23-10    Open Defence: congratulations <Honza>!!! I have been voting!! looks like Polgar's days are numbered and there will be a new Woman chess power soon!! :) Mar-23-10    Honza Cervenka: <This reminds me of voting in Korea!> Yes and just imagine on-line voting in real elections...:-))) Many thanks to all for benevolent support!:-D Mar-23-10    Spell Binder: Hello <Mr.Cervenka>! We're not yet acquianted here in cg.com but I have been reading your worthwhile posts since I became a member. My name is Rich and I am pleased to tell you that I have voted for your daugher (617th entry). Thank you Mar-23-10    Honza Cervenka: <Spell Binder> Thank you very much, Rich. And welcome to this great site!:-D Mar-23-10    achieve: I set my alarm clock to get a vote in at 3am here... 625 vs 594 and looking good... <The returns from Cook County aren't in yet and the Kladno's have connections in the mob there. Also beware of last minute baby stuffing antics. The Kladnos have 4 ponies in the race> hehe Mar-24-10    achieve: ATTENTION 8:30AM - I just voted again, and the lead which was 40 votes at one point a few hours ago, is shrinking. Not dramatically, but obviously the "Michael gang" has organized themselves, and is determined to make up ground. STAY ALERT, and KEEP VOTING regularly! Mar-24-10    Pyke: Good morning everyone, awake again and voting ... ;-) 679 to 644 for now Mar-24-10    jessicafischerqueen: Lads keep vigilant 38 BABY ANETA leads, please vote every hour on the hour and as long as we have to until all glory to <Honza Cervenka> family Mar-24-10    jessicafischerqueen: Hi PYKE!!! thanks for posting at the <Russian Grandmasters> forum. I miss Woody... Mar-24-10    Pyke: <jessicafischerqueen: Hi PYKE!!! thanks for posting at the <Russian Grandmasters> forum. I miss Woody...> Hi <Jess>, my pleasure to contribute to that great forum. Good to see you and the others here, now I am certain we'll keep cute little <Aneta> in the lead! Mar-24-10    TheAlchemist: <Honza> Congratulations!
