Fritz 17 - The giant PC chess program, now with Fat Fritz
The most popular chess program offers you everything you will need as a dedicated chess enthusiast, with innovative training methods for amateurs and professionals alike.
Last week the Czech National Championships were held as over-the-board tournaments in Pilsen, without face masks nor Plexiglas walls. For a tenth time in his career, David Navara won the tournament, this time with an impressive 7½ out of 9 score. The Czech number one finished undefeated, collecting six wins and three draws.
After we published our report on the championship, the ever-friendly Navara contacted us letting us know that his last-round opponent, Karel Malinowsky, showed up to play but left the playing hall after a dispute (as reported by André Schulz, it had to do with Malinowsky having a notebook in the playing hall), thus giving Navara the full point. David wrote:
That is of course a pity, but I was as surprised as everybody else and was ready to play with white for a win. Even a draw would have finally been enough for me, but it was not so clear originally.
Nevertheless, let us take a look at Navara’s win in round 7, who showed precise play to defeat Peter Michalik with the white pieces. With a number of captures available, how would you continue here with White?
