The small town in North Bohemia used to be renowned mainly for the art of its local glassmakers. But since 2011, this craft is matched by the art of chess, which can be experienced in Nový Bor at the Corrida Chess Tournament.

The opening ceremony was held on Sunday August 26th at the town hall of Nový Bor, where the guests were welcomed by Jaromír Dvořák, the mayor and Roman Mužík, the chairman of the Chess Club of Nový Bor. Then, under the watchful eye of IA Pavel Votruba and in front of the cameras of Czech Television, the Israeli players drew their lots. Boris Gelfand drew black for his classical game, while Nitzan Steinberg drew white.

The press conference was followed by simultaneous exhibitions. Boris Gelfand stood against twelve players, drawing with Roman Mužík, Milan Lesage, Jiří Kadeřábek and Kateřina Šmajzrová. Nitzan Steinberg was challenged by twenty players, most of them youths. He was beaten by Štepán Dolenský, while Vlastimil Babubla jr., Matouš Brůna, Michal Papoušek, Kryštof Hofman, Filip Dolenský and Václav Paulus achieved draws.

Ajeto, the glassmaker restaurant, not only offers its guests delicious food but also a view of the glassmakers at work. In the last week of August however, the glassmakers were outshined by the chess players, who could experience the atypical playing atmosphere for the first time on Monday the 27th of August.

Grandmaster Boris Gelfand proved his master-class and great experience during the match. The two introductory classical games ended with a draw but on the third day, Gelfand took the lead when he won both rapid games. The following two classical games were marked by Láznička’s attempts to change the course of the match but the two games ended in a draw, as well. The Israeli grandmaster entered the Saturday finals, leading by two points. He refused all theoretical speculations about a possible tie-break since he won both rapid games.

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Nc3 c6 5.e3 Nbd7 6.Qc2 Bd6 7.b3 0-0 8.Be2 b6 9.0-0 Bb7 10.Bb2 Viktor managed to keep pace with Boris in classical, but suffered terribly in rapid games. But it was just the first game where he was truly close to a victory, afterwards the Israeli grandmaster had more or less control over the match. It is not so easy to adjust to playing Corrida in Novy Bor - local glass-blowers lend us the playing hall just for a few hours and all the machines have to keep going, which tends to be a little noisy. Qe7 11.Rfd1 Rfe8 12.Rac1 Rac8 13.Bf1 c5 Viktor has never been too much of an aggressive chess player, instead he feels the position very well and usually if you give him a chance he will happily beat you. 14.cxd5 exd5 15.dxc5 bxc5 16.Qf5 Qe6 17.Bd3 Ne5? Although this looks natural, Black should always be careful when his pieces start to hang in the air. The more restrained 17. .. .g6, forcing White to make a decision about his queen's position, was better. 18.Ng5! Qe7 The text move is a bit unfortunate, but 18...Qxf5 19.Bxf5 Rcd8 20.Nb5 gives White a tremendous pressure. 19.Bb5? Unfortunately this turns out to be too superficial. 19.Nxh7? should be the first move to be inspected, but after Nfg4 Black starts having some nasty threats on h2 as well and his counterattack on the kingside will be stronger. But after the precise 19.Ba6‼ Black would have to face the cruel reality, his position is falling apart. g6 19...Bxa6 20.Nxd5 is the point, and after Qd8 21.Nxf6+ Qxf6 22.Qxh7+ Kf8 23.Ne4+- it's just game over. 20.Qh3 h5 21.Bxb7 Qxb7 and now White just smashes through brutally 22.Nxd5‼ Nxd5 23.Ne4 Bf8 24.Rxd5! Qxd5 25.Nf6+ and Black's once again gone. 19...h6! After moving the rook from e8 the familiar motif of taking on d5 works nicely, but there is more to this position. 20.Nf3 20.Bxe8? Rxe8 21.Nf3 Bc8 runs into either ...Nd3 after moving the queen to f4 or a decisive attack after 22.Qc2 Nxf3+ 23.gxf3 Qe5 24.f4 Qh5-+ and ...Ng4 will be too strong. 20...Nxf3+ 21.gxf3 Red8 Tables have turned and Viktor is suddenly on the verge of losing. 22.Ne2 d4! Very aesthetic, underlines the weakness of White's king. 23.exd4? c4! So far Boris shows no mercy. 24.Re1 The natural 24.Ng3? loses to Bxg3 25.hxg3 Rd5-+ 24...g6 25.Qh3 cxb3? At this and few other moments Black apparently had some blind spot for 25...Nh7!-+ with the idea of ...Ng5. It is one of those moves that are hard to spot but extremely easy to understand once found. 26.Nc3 Qf8 27.axb3 Bf4 28.Rc2 Without ...Bf4 the ...Nh7 manoeuvre was not so great due to Nc3-e4, but now it was once again winning pretty easily. Rxd4? 29.Bc4 Greed was not good here. White's coordinated his pieces and especially the bishop are looking forward to tear Black's kingside apart. Rd2 30.Rxd2 Bxd2 31.Re2 Bf4 32.Ne4 Nxe4 33.fxe4 Re8 34.e5 Bc8? Misses the following sequence. 35.Qf3! Bg5 36.Ba3? After 36.h4! Black would suddenly be fighting for his bare life. Bd8 and Black has to give up an exchange after The problem is that 36...Bxh4? runs into 37.Qe4! Bg5 38.Qxg6+ Qg7 39.Bxf7++- 37.h5 Be6 38.Bb5 and hope for the best. 36...Be7 37.Bc1 Be6 38.Bxe6 fxe6 39.Qg4 Qf5 40.Qxf5 exf5 41.Bxh6 g5 This endgame might look suspicious for Black at first sight but the material is so limited and White's bishop is so trapped that there is no real advantage for the Czech. 42.Rc2 Kh7 43.Rc6 Bd8 44.f4 g4 45.Kg2 Bh4 Black will have a lot of play after either ...Rd8 or ...Rb8. 46.h3 Rb8 47.hxg4 fxg4 48.f5 Rxb3 The checks on the third rank delivered by Black pieces are nasty and White's only hope is playing the R + B vs. R endgame, but Gelfand will hold that confidenly. 49.Bc1 Rg3+ 50.Kf1 Rf3+ 51.Ke2 Rxf5 52.Rh6+ Kg7 53.Rxh4 Rxe5+ 54.Kd3 Re6 55.Rxg4+ Kf7 56.Be3 Actually two years ago when David Navara was playing Hammer in Corrida the endgame with a rook and a knight against a rook emerged in one rapid game. David was pushing for the stronger side, but he eventually.. lost on time! Your commentator got a theoretically winning position with two knights against a pawn with Gunina and although I did not lose, I managed to embarrass myself by playing on even without the enemy pawn. So we Czechs don't really have much luck in theoretical endgames in this event... a6 57.Bc5 Kf6 58.Bd4+ Kf5 59.Rg1 Rc6 60.Rf1+ Ke6 61.Ke4 Kd6 62.Rh1 Ke6 63.Rh5 Kd6 64.Rd5+ Ke6 65.Bc5 Kf7 66.Ba3 Re6+ 67.Kd4 Kg6 68.Bc1 Kf6 69.Bf4 Kg6 70.Be5 Kf5 71.Rd8 Rg6 72.Kd5 Kg4 73.Ke4 Kg5 74.Rd1 Kg4 75.Rh1 Kg5 76.Rf1 a5 77.Rf5+ Kg4 78.Bf6 a4 79.Rf2 a3 80.Rg2+ Kh5 81.Rxg6 ½–½

The match between the younger players, twenty-year-old Israeli grandmaster Nitzan Steinberg and home player Tadeáš Kriebel was a seesaw battle. The first three days were taken over by the initiative of the home player and he managed to achieve a promising lead of 3:1, after winning one classical game and one rapid game. But in the end, it was Steinberg who won, catching up with Kriebel in the fifth round and then winning by two points in the final rapid games.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Our match basically revolved around two openings - The Ruy Lopez with me on the Black side and Najdorf with Bc4 when I was on the gun. a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 In classical games it is only logical to play the classical main lines. 4...b5 5.Bb3 g6 gave me a very nice position in the second rapid game, though I terribly mishandled a great position later on and in the end was very happy with a draw. 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.c3 0-0 9.h3 Na5 10.Bc2 c5 11.d4 exd4 12.cxd4 Re8 The combination of ...exd4 and ...Re8 obviously isn't as classical as my initial comment would suggest. Black is trying to be clever and aims for an unbalanced Benoni-like structure. 13.Nc3 As a matter of fact 13.Nbd2 seems to be the critical move. The idea is that after Bb7 14.d5 Black's knight on a5 is restrained and it is quite hard to get it back into play. Although the game continuation is the most natural one, it allows Black to get a nice game. 13...Bb7 14.d5 Nd7 Moving the other knight is a legal move as well, Black can create some disharmony in White's position. 15.b3 Bf6 16.Bb2 This is the not so obvious drawback of placing a knight on c3, as White won't develop his dark-squared bishop anywhere without b2-b3, he has to spend some time consolidating his queenside. Ne5 17.Rb1 White would love to play 17.Nh2 and kick the e5 knight back, but this runs into Nac4! 18.bxc4 Nxc4 19.Qc1 Nxb2 20.Qxb2 b4 , teaching White a final lesson about the knight's position. 17...Bc8 18.Nxe5 After 18.Nh2 Ng6 it is not so easy to make progress and the inclusion of moves ...Bc8 and Rb1 certainly favours Black. 18...dxe5! Now it becomes obvious how to solve the a5 knight's problem and there is not much hope for an opening advantage for White. 19.Bc1 Nb7 20.Be3 Bg5 21.Qd2 Bxe3 22.Qxe3 Bd7 23.Bd3 Rc8 24.Rec1 h6?! 25.f3 Qg5 In retrospective it probably was not such a great idea to exchange queens, as White has more space and c5 could be weak after all. Keeping the queens on and for example prodding White with ...Qa5 was preferable. 26.Kf2 Nd6 27.Qxg5 hxg5 28.Rc2 g6 29.Rbc1 Rc7 30.Nd1 Rec8 31.Nb2 Black still has enough defensive resources, but the initiative clearly is in White's hands now. f5 32.Ke3 Kf7 33.Be2 Kf6 34.Rc3 Be8 35.a3 Preparing to hit the c5 weakness with Nd3, which would otherwise run into ...c4 and ...b4. Bd7 36.Nd3 c4 36...Nb7? 37.Nb4! Ra8 38.d6± looks like big trouble. 37.Nb2 a5 38.bxc4 bxc4 39.a4 I was quite upset about the a4 move, as I counted on 39.Bxc4 Bb5 40.Kd3 Nxc4 41.Nxc4 a4 where white is simply stuck in a deadlock or 39.Nxc4 Nb5 40.Rb3 a4 and takes on a3. 39...Rb7? A nervous decision, even though there was no time pressure. After the calm 39...Be8 40.Bxc4 Bd7 41.Kd3 Ke7 White once again cannot do much really. 40.Nxc4 Nxc4+ 41.Rxc4 Rxc4 42.Rxc4 Rb3+? Pretty simple was 42...Rb2 with the move 43.Rc7 Bxa4 44.Bc4 Bb3! in mind. 43.Bd3 Ra3 44.Rc5! This is the strong move I missed, Black's bishop will get in big trouble now. Rxa4 44...Bxa4 45.Rxa5 is simply bad, Black's a pawn down and his pieces are stuck on the a-file. 45.Rc7! f4+ Forced. At first I though I could go for the "brilliant" 45...Ra2 , the point being 46.exf5 however it turns out that after 46.Bc4! there is no mate, but the threats to Black persist. 46...gxf5 47.Rxd7 f4+ 48.Ke4 Ra4+ 46.Kd2 Ra2+ 47.Kc1 Ba4 48.Bc2! This endgame is winning for White, but of course in a practical game things are far from being simple. 48.Bc4 Rxg2 49.d6 g4! and Black king runs away. 48...Bxc2 49.Rxc2 Ra3 The following sequence is pretty logical and forced. 50.Rc6+ Kf7 51.Re6 Ra1+ 52.Kb2 Rg1 53.Rxe5 Rxg2+ 54.Kc3 Rg3 55.d6 Rxf3+ 56.Kd4? Surgical precision is 56.Kc4! , with the point being that after Rf1 57.d7 there is no check on d1. However the fun continues: Rc1+ 58.Kb5 Rd1 59.Kc6 f3 60.Rd5 Rxd5 61.exd5 f2 62.d8Q f1Q and unless you are a computer it is very hard to realise that the position after 63.Qc7+ Kf6 64.d6 is winning for White. 56...Rf1 57.Re7+ Kf6 58.e5+ Kf5 59.Rf7+ This was the point behind the Kd4 move, now the e5 pawn is covered. Nevertheless, objectively speaking the position is a draw now! Ke6 60.Rf6+ Kd7 61.Rf7+ Ke6 62.Rf6+ Kd7 63.Rxg6 f3 64.Rg7+ Kc6? This should lose and I cannot really blame the position complexity for my mistake as there are multiple paths for White now. 64...Ke6 was called for, when after 65.Re7+ Kf5 66.Ke3 a4 67.d7 Rd1 68.e6 a3 69.Re8 a2 70.e7 it looks as if White is going to win the crazy pawn race, but after Ke6‼ he manages to pull off a miraculous defence. 70...a1Q 71.Rf8+! and White is first to start giving checks with his queen, therefore first to deliver a mate. Kg6 72.e8Q++- 71.d8Q a1Q White's rook funnily cannot join the attack now and Black draws with a perpetual: 72.Qc8+ Rd7! 73.Qc6+ Ke5! 74.Qxd7 Qe1+ White king cannot get to the queenside because of losing his queen to Qd1+, but there is nowhere to hide on the other side. 75.Kxf3 Qf1+ 76.Kg4 Qf4+ 77.Kh5 Qf7+ 78.Kxg5 Qf6+ 79.Kh5 Qf7+ 80.Kg4 Qf4+= 65.Rc7+ Kb6 66.Rc2 Even simpler was Rc8 with the idea of immediate Ke3. f2 67.Rd2! Indirectly supports the d-pawn and shields their own king from checks. Kc6 68.Ke3 Kd7 69.e6+! Kd8 70.Kf3 White had some quicker options like the pendulum 70.e7+ Kd7 71.Re2! Ke8 72.Rb2 Kd7 73.Rb8+- and White is toasted, but this game was not meant to end prosaically. 70...Rh1 71.Kxf2 Rxh3 72.Rd5 Rh6 73.Re5! Funnily enough, it is far from easy to promote White's passed pawns thanks to Black's two passers. Ke8 74.Kg3 a4 75.Kg4 a3 76.Kf5! Now the e6 pawn is covered so ...a3-a2 can be stopped with the rook from a5. g4 What else. 77.Re3 Rh5+ 78.Kg6! Rh3 79.Re4 Rd3 80.Ra4? 80.Rxg4! was the correct way to do it: Rxd6 81.Kf6+- and the threat of a mate from g4 gives White a deciding tempi. 80...Rxd6 81.Kf6 g3 82.Rg4 82.Rxa3 Rd1 83.Ra8+ Rd8 84.Rxd8+ Kxd8 85.Kf7 g2= and Black's in time. 82...Kd8? Going in the other direction would draw immediately, but as alredy stated before, this game was too crazy. 83.Kf7 Rxe6 84.Kxe6 a2 85.Kd6 Ke8? The final misconception, Black king will not have enough space on the kingside. 85...Kc8! 86.Kc6 Kd8! 87.Rd4+ Ke7 88.Rd1 Ke6 with an easy draw. 89.Re1+ Kf5 90.Kd5 Kf4 91.Rf1+ Ke3 and White is again one tempi short. 86.Ke6? 86.Re4+! Kf7 87.Re1 Kf6 88.Kd5 Kf5 89.Rf1+ Kg4 90.Ke4+- on the other hand wins! 86...Kf8? 86...Kd8! 87.Rf4+! Kg7 88.Rf1 Now it is just blatantly obvious that the pawns will be stopped and collected. g2 89.Rg1 Kf8 90.Kd5 What a fight! 1–0
