  Honza Cervenka: Yesterday I have played against Mr. Modr in Prague team championship. Although he is rated more than 300 points above me I managed to get quite promising play with black pieces in the game. Unfortunately, in severe time pressure before the first time control in very complicated position I have blundered and lost.

B. Modr - J. Cervenka, Prague, 29.3.2007

D03: 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 d5 3. Bg5 e6 4. Nbd2 c5 5. e3 cxd4 6. exd4 Nc6 7. c3 Be7 8. Bd3 h6 9. Bh4 Nh5 10. Bg3 Nxg3 11. hxg3 Bd7 12. Qe2 Qc7 13. Ne5 Nxe5 14. dxe5 O-O-O 15. Nf3 f6 16. O-O-O Kb8 17. Kb1 Rc8 18. Rc1 Rhf8 19. c4 Qb6 20. cxd5 exd5 21. Rhe1 Bb4 22. Red1 Rce8 <(22...Rxc1+ 23.Rxc1 Re8 would have been easier to handle giving black small but safe edge. 23.Kxc1?! Ba4! 24.Rh1 Re8 or 24.b3? Bxb3! 25.axb3 Qxb3+ 26.Ka1 Bb4 27.Rb1 Qa3+ 28.Qa2 Bc3+ 29.Rb2 Bxb2+ 30.Kb1 Qxd3+ is clearly bad for white.)> 23. Bg6 Re7 24. Rxd5 fxe5 <(24...f5 looks quite interesting and also 24...Bc6 was playable.)> 25. Be4 <(If 25.Nxe5, then 25...Bc6! 26.Nxc6+ (26.Rxc6 bxc6 27.Nd7+ Kc7! ) 26...bxc6 27.Re5 Rxf2 28.Rxe7 Bxe7 29.Qe5+ Qc7 30.Qxg7 Bf6 =)> 25...Bg4?? <(Awful blunder. After correct 25...a6! black would have been okay. For example, 26.Rxe5 Bb5 27.Qd1 Rxe5 28.Nxe5 Rxf2 and black looks better.)> 26. Rb5 <(Unfortunately, the Queen has no good retreat as 26...Qa6 loses for 27.Rxb7+ and 26...Qd6 27.Rd1 wins the piece for white.)> 26...Bxf3 27. gxf3 Qd6 28. Rd1 Black resigned.

Mar-30-07  Tomlinsky: Unlucky Honza, pressured blunders hurt. You seemed to have equalised fairly comfortably. 19...Qb6 and it looked as though you were beginning to take some controlt. After 21.Rhe1 inviting 21...Bb4 (forcing white to put the rook where it maybe should have gone the move previously) do you think that exchanging rooks with 22...Rxc1+ and then moving the other rook to e8 may have been a better way to occupy the e-file?

Thanks for posting the game.

  Honza Cervenka: <Tomlinsky> Trading of one pair of Rooks would make the position less complex. I had a few time to consider properly all complications arising from 22...Rce8 but I felt that with both Rooks on e and f files black has quite significant pressure (Pe5, Pf2) and so I have gone into that direction. From practical point of view after 22...Rxc1+ 23.Rxc1 Re8 24.Rd1 Bg4 there is practically no risk of loss for black even in time pressure. For example, 25.Bg6 Bxf3 26.Qxf3 Rxe5 and black is Pawn up though the endgame with opposite colour Bishops can be only drawish. But draw would be still quite satisfactory result for me against player of B. Modr's class.
Mar-30-07  Tomlinsky: <From practical point of view after 22...Rxc1+ 23.Rxc1 Re8 24.Rd1 Bg4 there is practically no risk of loss for black even in time pressure.>

I wonder OTB on 24.Rd1 in the above line maybe 24...Bc3 sets white some interesting questions on how to proceed.

Mar-30-07  Tomlinsky: Actually, 24...Re7 and then 25...Bc3 to prevent the discovered attack on the d-pawn.
