'''David Navara''' (born 27 March 1985) is a Czech [[Grandmaster (chess)|chess grandmaster]], the highest-ranked of his country. Awarded the title of [[Grandmaster (chess)|Grandmaster]] by [[FIDE]] in 2002, he is a 13-time [[Czech Chess Championship|national champion]] (in 2004, 2005, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024).

==Early life and grandmaster title==

Navara's career progressed very quickly under coaches like Miloslav Vanka, [[International master|IM]] Josef Přibyl, and GMs [[Luděk Pachman]] and [[Vlastimil Jansa]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~navara/navarad.htm|title=Navara's Personal Page about his Early Life and Career}}</ref> as he won several world medals in youth categories. In 2001, aged 16, he made his debut on the Czech national team in the [[European Team Chess Championship]]s, where he scored 7/9 points. He received the title Grandmaster one year later, three days before his 17th birthday. In 2003, he won the open section of the [[Rubinstein Memorial]].

==Adult career==

Ranked 14th, he finished sixth in the 2004 [[European Individual Chess Championship]] in [[Antalya]] scoring 7½ points (+5−2=5), including a draw against the eventual champion [[Vassily Ivanchuk]]. This result qualified Navara for the [[Chess World Cup 2005|2005 FIDE World Cup]], where he was eliminated by [[Predrag Nikolić]] in the first round.

In 2006, at the [[37th Chess Olympiad]] he scored 8½ points from 12 games against world-class competition. The next year, Navara was invited for the first time into the [[Tata Steel Chess Tournament|supertournament]] in [[Wijk aan Zee]], where he replaced [[Alexander Morozevich]]. Navara, nicknamed ''Navara Express'' by organizers, gained 6½ points in 13 games (+3−3=7), including wins against [[Ruslan Ponomariov]] and [[Magnus Carlsen]] (and draws with black pieces against [[Vladimir Kramnik]], [[Viswanathan Anand]] and [[Veselin Topalov]]), and finished in 7th place.

In August 2007 Navara finished first in the Ordix Open, a rapid tournament part of the [[Chess Classic]] [[Mainz]] festival, with a score of 9½/11 on progressive score tiebreak. The following month, he played in the [[Czech Coal Group|Czech Coal]] Carlsbad tournament in [[Karlovy Vary]], where he finished third, scoring half a point behind the winners, Ruslan Ponomariov and [[Sergei Movsesian]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gambit.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/09/15/two-tie-for-first-at-carlsbad-2007/|title=Two Tie for First at Carlsbad|last=McClain|first=Dylan Loeb|date=2007-09-15|website=Gambit Blog|publisher=The New York Times|access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/16/AR2007091601342.html|title=Chess Today Celebrates|last=Kavalek|first=Lubomir|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=2007-09-17|access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref><ref name="CB">{{cite web|url=http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7316|title=Navara beats Movsisian <nowiki>[sic]</nowiki> in CEZ Chess Trophy 2011|date=2011-06-24|publisher=ChessBase.com|accessdate=28 June 2011}}</ref>
Two months later, Navara participated in the [[Chess World Cup 2007|FIDE World Cup]]. He beat [[Alexander Ivanov (chess player)|Alexander Ivanov]] of US in the first round and was defeated by [[Sergei Rublevsky]] in the second round after tie-breaks.

In 2007–2008 Navara played in the "[[Reggio Emilia chess tournament|Torneo di Capodanno]]" in [[Reggio Emilia]], Italy, scoring 3/8 (+1−3=4). He played in the [[FIDE Grand Prix 2008–10|FIDE Grand Prix]] tournament in Baku in 2008, scoring 5½/13 (+2−4=7).

At the 2011 Tata Steel Tournament in Wijk aan Zee, Navara competed in the "B" group against other strong GMs like [[Wesley So]], [[Lê Quang Liêm]], [[Luke McShane]], [[Vladislav Tkachiev]], [[Zahar Efimenko]], and others. Navara tied for first place with Luke McShane by finishing with 8½/13.  While McShane finished ahead on tie-breaks, both players received invitations to the top "A" group next year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=6983|title=Tata Steel: Nakamura wins first Super GM event|date=30 January 2011}}</ref> Later in the same year, Navara also took part in the [[Chess World Cup 2011|FIDE World Cup]]; he lost to [[Alexander Grischuk]] in the quarterfinals of the competition.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/chessnews/events/fide-world-cup-khanty-mansiysk-2011 |title=The Week in Chess: FIDE World Cup Khanty-Mansiysk 2011 |last=Crowther |first=Mark |date=2011-09-21 |publisher=London Chess Center |accessdate=14 December 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111020150713/http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/chessnews/events/fide-world-cup-khanty-mansiysk-2011 |archivedate=20 October 2011 }}</ref> The following year Navara won the individual gold medal on board two at the [[40th Chess Olympiad]] in Istanbul playing for the Czech team.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://theweekinchess.com/chessnews/events/40th-chess-olympiad-istanbul-2012/40th-chess-olympiad-istanbul-round-11-2012|title=40th Chess Olympiad Istanbul Round 11 2012|website=The Week in Chess|access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref>

=== 2024 Controversy and Kramnik Lawsuit ===
In May 2024, Navara became a central figure in a major chess controversy initiated by former [[World Chess Championship|World Chess Champion]] [[Vladimir Kramnik]]. Kramnik published a list on social media insinuating cheating in online [[Titled Tuesday]] events, on which Navara was prominently featured.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kramnik |first=Vladimir |date=June 24, 2025 |title=Civil defamation/slander case against @chesscom @chessdom and personally Mr. Navara registered today in Tribunal de Geneve Penal (Criminal) case takes little more time to open, but definitely coming |url=https://x.com/VBkramnik/status/1937497707217920248 |access-date=July 1, 2025 |website=Twitter}}</ref>

Shortly after, Navara announced that he would file a formal complaint with FIDE regarding Kramnik's behavior.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-05-18 |title=Cheating: Trust and Traitors in Chess |url=https://lichess.org/forum/community-blog-discussions/ublog-WjbbzI9x |access-date=2025-07-01 |website=lichess.org |language=en-US}}</ref> He later clarified that his complaint was not based on a personal grievance alone, and mentioning that the complaint stated, "I am not sure whether he is accusing me," but on broader principles, citing four key objections: Kramnik's own recent fair-play violation, a pattern of unfounded public accusations by Kramnik, flawed statistical analysis, and the tweet's offensive framing.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-05-24 |title=Cheating: Trust and Traitors in Chess |url=https://lichess.org/forum/community-blog-discussions/ublog-WjbbzI9x?page=8 |access-date=2025-07-01 |website=lichess.org |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-07-26 |title=Five big myths concerning my appeal to FIDE |url=https://lichess.org/@/RealDavidNavara/blog/five-big-myths-concerning-my-appeal-to-fide/wUoVFT37 |access-date=2025-07-01 |website=lichess.org |language=en-US}}</ref>

A year later, in a detailed blog post from May 2025, Navara recounted the full story and the severe psychological impact it had on him for which he had to seek professional help. He wrote that the public insinuation, compounded by FIDE's months-long silence, induced suicidal thoughts, and that there was a "real danger" he could have taken his own life in mid-June 2024, providing context by mentioning he had struggled with mental health issues since childhood. Navara further revealed that after receiving a formal response from FIDE in December 2024, which he found dismissive, he planned to commit suicide in mid-January 2025 but ultimately abandoned the idea.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Navara (FormerProdigy) |first=David |date=2025-05-23 |title=Because we care |url=https://www.chess.com/blog/FormerProdigy/because-we-care |access-date=2025-07-01 |website=Chess.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

The dispute escalated further when Kramnik announced his intention to sue Navara for defamation, demanding a public retraction and apology.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kramnik |first=Vladimir |date=June 24, 2025 |title=Civil defamation/slander case against @chesscom @chessdom and personally Mr. Navara registered today in Tribunal de Geneve Penal (Criminal) case takes little more time to open, but definitely coming |url=https://x.com/VBkramnik/status/1937497707217920248 |access-date=July 1, 2025 |website=Twitter}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-06-30 |title=Explained: Former world champion Kramnik's legal threat rocks chess world, forces FIDE to intervene |url=https://www.firstpost.com/sports/chess/chess-controversy-vladimir-kramnik-defamation-lawsuit-david-navara-chess-com-explained-13901754.html |access-date=2025-07-01 |website=Firstpost |language=en-us}}</ref>

<blockquote>
In the following game, played in the Ordix Open, the Czech grandmaster David Navara defeats former top Armenian grandmaster Rafael Vaganian. Navara decides to test a powerful pawn sacrifice in the Tarrasch variation of the French defense. It was introduced into tournament play more than 60 years ago by the Australian Cecil Purdy, the first correspondence world champion, and it still carries plenty of punch today. Vaganian's problems began after he lost the battle of the only open file and allowed the Czech GM to claim victory with neat tactical play.

'''1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 c5 4. Ngf3 Nf6 5. e5 Nfd7 6. c3 Nc6 7. Bd3 Qb6 8. 0-0!?''' (A promising pawn sacrifice that became fashionable after the game Korchnoi–Udovcic, Leningrad 1967.) '''8... cxd4 9. cxd4 Nxd4 10. Nxd4 Qxd4 11. Nf3 Qb6 12. Qc2''' (Purdy's choice. 12.Qa4 Qb4 13.Qc2 was also played in the past, but there is no need to improve the position of the black queen.) '''12... h6 13. Bd2''' (White finished his development and is prepared to seize the c-file with his heavy pieces. Some players prefer 13.Bf4.) '''13... Nc5?!''' (Walking into a dangerous pin. Exchanging the bishops with 13...Bb4, leads to the weakening of the dark squares after 14.Bxb4 Qxb4 15.a3 Qe7 16.Rac1 0-0 17.Qc7! with an unpleasant grip.) '''14. Be3!''' (Threatening to win outright with 15.Rac1. Black must do something about the pin.) '''14... Qb4''' (Another way to break the pin is 14...Qa5?!, but after 15.b4! Qxb4 16.Rab1 Nxd3!? 17.Rxb4 Nxb4 white's material advantage should tell in the long run. The game Zapolskis–Jorgensen, Dos Hermanas 2004, continued 14...Bd7 15.Rac1 Rc8 16.Qd2 Qd8 17.Bb1 Be7 18.Nd4 a6 19.f4! and after 19...f5 20.exf6 Bxf6 21.Bg6+ Kf8 22.Rxc5 Rxc5 23.Nxe6+ Bxe6 24.Bxc5+ Be7 25.Bxe7+ Qxe7 26.f5 Bf7 27.Rc1 Qd7 28.Qf4 Bxg6 29.fxg6+ Ke8 30.Qe3+ Qe7 31.Rc8+ black resigned.) '''15. Be2 Bd7 16. Rfc1 Rc8 17. Nd4 Qa5''' (After 17...Na4, the queen sacrifice 18.Qxc8+! leads to a powerful attack after 18...Bxc8 19.Rxc8+ Kd7 20.Rac1 Nc5 21.Ra8! with fairy-tale variations such as 21...Qxb2 22.Nb3! Qxe2 23.Bxc5 Qxa2 24.Bb6! Bd6 25.Rxa7 with white's advantage or 21...a6 22.b3! f5 23.a3! Qxa3 24.Bb5+ Ke7 25.Nxf5+ Kf7 26.Be8+ Kg8 27.Ne7+! Bxe7 28.Bg6+ Bf8 29.Rxf8+! Kxf8 30.Bxc5+ and white wins.) '''18. a3 Qd8 19. Bb5!''' (Threatening to win with 20.b4.) '''19... Ra8''' (Abandoning the c-file leads to problems.) '''20. b4 Na6?''' (A blunder, but after 20...Bxb5 21.Nxb5 a6 22.Nd4 Ne4 23.f3 Ng5 24.Qc7 Rb8 25.Nb3 Be7 26.Ba7 white should win.) '''21. Nxe6! fxe6 22. Bxa6 b6''' (A sad admission. White mates after 22...bxa6 23.Qg6+ Ke7 24.Bc5 mate.) '''23. Qg6+ Ke7 24. Rc3 Qe8 25. Qg4 Kf7 26. Bd3 Kg8 27. Bg6 Qd8 28. Rac1''' (Black can hardly move.) '''28... a5 29. b5''' (Another winning line is 29.Rc7, for example after 29...axb4 white deflects the black queen from the pawn on e6 with 30.Rxd7! Qxd7 31.Rc7! Rxa3 32.g3, since 32...Qxc7 allows 33.Qxe6+ and white mates; or after 29...Bc5 30.Qf3 Be8 31.Bf7+ Kh7 32.Qg4 Rf8 33.Bxh6! white mates soon.) '''29... Bc5 30. Bxc5 bxc5 31. Rxc5 Qe7 32. b6 Rb8 33. b7 Qf8''' (33...Rxb7 is met by 34.Rc8+!) '''34. Rc7''' Black resigned.</blockquote>
