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 9 OF 24 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-24-10    MostlyAverageJoe: Congratulations, Honza! Folks with Macintoshes: remember that you can use Automator to vote regularly and unattended by recording the voting sequence and looping it (just give it a delay to ensure that there are no complaints about duplicate votes which would break the script. Windows may or may not have something similar -- I don't know... Mar-24-10    OhioChessFan: 686-646 at 5:30 EDT. And I thought Florida was exciting. I wish I spoke Czech so I could make a pun regarding hanging chads. Mar-24-10    MostlyAverageJoe: PS: be sure to scale the page so that Aneta's radio button and Hlasovat button fit on the page without scrolling. Makes the script easier. Mar-24-10    OhioChessFan: <I plan to set my alarm every hour over night to cast my full quota. I think this is how Kennedy won Chicago.> They woke from the dead. Mar-24-10    pulsar: <Honza> With the whole <CG> behind you, abuzz and excited to vote for baby Aneta, why, congratulations! Will keep voting. :) Mar-24-10    OhioChessFan: <Bart Simpson: "I'm only 8 years old and I already have three mortal enemies" > Sideshow Bob: Homer, how can a person have so many enemies? Homer: I'm a people person. Mar-24-10    MostlyAverageJoe: Those with DSL/cable can vote more frequently. Just drop the connection and reconnect. Most likely you'll end up with a different IP address. I've just voted 3x in the last 5 minutes :-) Gotta go to sleep now, but I intend to add the IP renegotiation to my automator script tomorrow... Mar-24-10    OhioChessFan: When I run for President, I'm going to hire <MAJ> as my campaign manager. Mar-24-10    achieve: Heh - yes, I was going to post something along those very lines; MAJ is definitely DA MAN... Remarkably tight and competitive bunch we form, and no division between the ranks, though understandibly so. Mar-24-10    Boomie: Live at Chechchill Downs Entering the backstretch, BABY ANETA leads by a nose over DARTH KLADNO. Does she have the legs to maintain her lead? Well, that baby's all heart. She will crawl over the finish line if she has to. Mar-24-10    SwitchingQuylthulg: <MostlyAverageJoe> Changing IPs every two minutes is very nearly unethical! Luckily we're fighting a Dark Lord, which makes us the heroes by definition. If the other side did that, it would be cheating; for us, it's a clever and innovative way to heroically overcome the seemingly unsurmountable obstacles laid in our path by the forces of Evil in their unholy quest to deny young Aneta her rightful position. Mar-24-10    benjinathan: My wife is voting on her computer too, although I caught her casting a sympathy vote for one of the babies with only 4 votes;0. Mar-24-10    abstraction: Congratulations <Honza>! Aneta has my vote ... Mar-24-10    Honza Cervenka: Thanks to all and keep to vote! The race is far from over yet and Michael Jicha's supporters are rising. They lost their huge early lead but after our yesterday great surge they were evidently able to react and mobilize additional reserves to keep our current pace. Mar-24-10    benjinathan: We must continue until all resistance is crushed! <Aneta has my vote> Vote. Vote! We don't want to hear about any stinkin' vote. Plural is what we want! Votessssssss. Mar-24-10    dakgootje: Only 30 ahead - they are gaining!! Vote if you value your life! Mar-24-10    David2009: <Dekujeme za Vas hlas> At the time of voting (20.40 CET = 15.40 EST) the leading votes are Aneta Èervenková, Støedokluky 829 and Michael Jícha, Kladno 791. Every one of the 19 babies has at least six votes - what nice photographs! We have until 7 AM Friday (US EST), 11 AM Friday (UK) to cast our votes. Pity Crafty has no vote. Vote early, vote often. <Honza Cervenka: <This reminds me of voting in Korea!> Yes and just imagine on-line voting in real elections...:-)))> Indeed! Mar-24-10    OhioChessFan: At 4:22 PM EDT, the tally is Aneta 840 Michael 799 Mar-24-10    zanshin: 855 to 808 at 5:11 EDT. I expect Michael's forces to try one last surge. Mar-24-10    Honza Cervenka: 864 to 816 at 22:45 CET. Mar-24-10    OhioChessFan: I am VERY disappointed Chessgames doesn't have a link to vote for Aneta on their homepage. Mar-24-10    dakgootje: 886 vs 826 at 6 minutes past midnight GMT+1! Surging ahead now! Mar-24-10    Boomie: Update from Czechchild Downs SANTA ANETA now leads by a full length, which is about 2 feet for these babies. Mar-24-10    Pyke: <919> and counting ...
