English to Czech: Úryvek ze životopisu Paula Morphyho od C. A. Bucka
Source text - English Morphy’s chess practice during his childhood was mainly with his father and his uncle, Earnest Morphy. He gave evidence of a keen aptitude for the game and was soon able to defeat them both, although his uncle especially was a strong player. His natural capacity for chess was shown in his seeming divination of the proper moves in the openings before he had ever studied them. Earnest Morphy wrote to Kieseritzky in October, 1849, that his nephew, then a little over twelve years old, had never opened a chess treatise but that „in the openings he plays the ‚coup justes‘ as if by inspiration.“
Translation - Czech V dětství hrál Morphy šachy především s otcem a se strýčkem Earnestem Morphym. Projevil pro tuto hru mimořádný talent a záhy dokázal oba porazit, ačkoliv obzvláště strýc byl opravdu silný hráč. Morphyho přirozené šachistické nadání se projevilo ve zjevné schopnosti vytušit náležité tahy při zahájení, aniž by je předtím nějak studoval. Earnest Morphy napsal v říjnu roku 1849 Kieseritzkymu, že jeho synovec, kterému tehdy bylo jen něco málo přes dvanáct let a v životě nečetl žádné pojednání o šachu, přece „při zahájení umí jakoby intuitivně vždycky zahrát ten správný tah“.

Experience
Years of experience: 8. Registered at ProZ.com: Aug 2021.
I used to be a teacher of English and Czech but then I decided to see if I can make a living as a translator. It turned out that I can.
My first published translations were subtitles for TED talks. I started with them in 2015, and that is the year from which I count the translating experience listed above.
For several years before and after that, I translated only occasionally – typically thesis abstracts for my friends, but also, for instance, texts for an exhibition about T. G. Masaryk for the T. G. Masaryk Museum in Lány.
I have been translating and editing translations full-time since 2019.
