Czech Open Pardubice

He lost, because he did not read Chess Weekly

[21.07.2014 00:00:00] - Grandmaster David Navara become the champion of the Czech Republic in rapid chess also thanks to his penultimate game with young Indonesian Luthfi Ali Muhammad. The words of Czech grandmaster: "It was his bad luck that he did not read the Šachový týdeník (Chess weekly magazine) because in the double issue of 22-23/2013 I specifically commented on the game Navara - Bernášek and I even disprove the losing move 14...Nxe4? which was the one the young Indonesian choose. It was not too hard for me to find myself a few of my own moves and with the pace of 15 min. + 10 sec/move I had over 14 minutes remaining so I even got to relax before the last game."



14...Nxe4 15.Nxe4 fxe4 16.Bh5 Dd7 17.Bg6 Nc5 18.Qh5 Nd3+ 19.Kd2 Rxf2+ 20.Kc3 Bf8 21.Be7 Qxe7 22.Bxh7 1-0

The game Navara - Muhammad can be replayed here.

But with all of his modesty grandmaster Navara recomends to replay his only lost game because of the beautiful ending of his rival Levente Vajda.



27...Bxh3 28.Rxa8 Qe1+ 29.Kh2 Bxg2 30.Ne8+ Nxe8 31.Kg3 g5 32.Qb1 Qe6 33.Bf5 Qh6 0-1
