GM\u00a0David Navara<\/strong>\u00a0came out as a winner of the Czech Championship 2022. It is the eleventh national title in his distinguished\u00a0career.<\/p>

The Czech Championship, a 9-round Swiss tournament with classical time control, took place from May 14-22, 2022, in \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem. The event brought together 48 best Czech players, including the rating favourite David Navara (pictured below) and the defending champion Vojtech Plat.\u00a0<\/p>

The tournament turned into a very close race, with several players battling for the title to the very end. Suffice it to say that after Round 7, the eventual champion was only second, a half-point behind IM\u00a0Vojtech Zwadron<\/strong>, who led the field with an excellent score of 6\/7.<\/p>

However, in Round 8, the leader suffered a defeat at the hands of\u00a0Vlasitimil Babula<\/strong>\u00a0(pictured below), while Navara beat Plat and shot ahead, coming into the final round a half-point ahead of Babula and Zwadron.\u00a0<\/p>

In Round 9, Navara drew his game with Jiri Stocek and clinched the title, netting 7\/9 as his main rivals did not manage to win \u2013 Babula drew with Tomas Kraus, while\u00a0Jan Krejci\u00a0<\/strong>took down Zwadron and tied for the second place. Vlastimil Babula claimed silver thanks to better Buchholz; Jan Krejci had to settle for bronze.\u00a0<\/p>

FM\u00a0Richard Stalmach<\/strong>\u00a0(pictured below) won a special prize for the best junior player, scoring 5\u00bd\/9 and finishing 12th.\u00a0<\/p>
