Sep-10-06 | | Knight13: Blatny has played some games against Joshua Waitzkin in USCF rated tournaments, and Blatny won more games and proved to be a stronger player. Of course, this was more than 7 years ago, when Josh quit showing up in tournaments in 1999. So he was probably 2600+ at that time while Josh was 2500+ (USCF rating). |

Oct-30-06 | | mack: A game often hailed as a modern masterpiece - Blatny-Watson, Las Vegas 1998 - is curiously missing from chessbase, chesslab and this site. The finish is utterly spectacular: click for larger viewHaving already sacrificed the house, Blatny (White, to play) had one last surprise. Put your engines away and find the winning move for yourself- it's worth it. |

Oct-30-06 | | Mameluk: I unfortunately wrote the sollution few lines above you, but big thanks for the diagram. As I wrote, I think Blatny missed it and won some other way. |

 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: Happy birthday to Blatny. He's one of my favourite players, mostly because he's sensible enough to play both 1.e4 b6 and 1.d4 b6 as Black :) |

Jul-10-07 | | arunjangity: and 1.b3 as white! we should rename the queen's bishop the 'blatny bishop' |

I think Vladimir Bagirov
deserves it more. |

Dec-09-07 | | parisattack: <Chess Carnival: The following game is also missing in this database.. Take a look at Blatny's opening approach:> Thanks for this, Hippo Reversed; I did not have it. I have been affected with the hypermodern disease since shortly after learning to play chess in 1966. I read Chess Praxis and was hooked for life. I try to wean myself off of it from time to time - without any real success. I hate to say this but think Blatny would be 100-150 ELO higher if he wasn't also hooked. |

Dec-09-07 | | whiskeyrebel: parisattack, I'm afflicted with the hypermodern bug too. Even though it's really a pretty ancient school of chess thought, it's amazing how many amateur players get upset when you open with 1.Nf3 or 1.b3 ( for instance ). I recall one lower rated opponent from just a few years ago who gave me a shocked look after my first move ( 1.Nf3) as if I had dropped my pants at the board. He scowled at me and muttered for awhile. Blatny is one of my favorites, he's simply more fun to watch than 9 out of 10 GM's. |

Oct-03-08 | | whiskeyrebel: Bravo Blatny! I'm still hoping for a book. |

|
Jul-02-09 | | blacksburg: <Can it be that the energy he saves by his opening approach allows him to invest a little more in his middlegame play?> so this is the word on the street about Blatny, and he plays the ...b6, but against 1.e4, he much more commonly plays 1...e5, and plays the Marshall Attack. so he must know a little bit of theory, right? |
|
May-30-11 | | parisattack: Update on GM Blatny, the Modern Hypermodern? |
|
Jun-22-11
 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: Happy birthday. On the right date this time, even if it does break tradition. |
|
Feb-29-12 | | parisattack: Anyone have an update on Blatny. Hypermodernists are HTF as is, without them vanishing from the scene. |
