Vienna Open: Markus Ragger leads with 6.5/7

by Johannes Fischer
8/22/2016 – After seven of nine rounds top seed GM Markus Ragger from Austria leads the A-group of the Vienna Open. 310 players started in the top group and with 6.5/7 Ragger is sole leader. Half-a-point behind follow seven players with 6.0/7, among them second seed GM Rainer Buhmann from Germany and 11-year old Vincent Keymer, the only untitled player at the top.

Markus Ragger is Austria's number one and of course he wants to play well in Austria's capital Vienna. And in the first seven rounds of the Vienna Open he fully lived up to his role of rating favorite. Except for a short and pragmatic draw in round six against Rainer Buhmann Ragger won all his games, showing a mix of good preparation, smooth positional play and fine tactical skills.

Second seed Rainer Buhmann almost stumbled in round three against the much-lower rated Tobias Vöge but then found his stride and after seven rounds shares places two to eight. In round five he won a nice attacking game with Black.

Now Black regains his pawn and White is in serious trouble. 22.Nd2 A better defense was h4 23.Ngf1 and Black has compensation for the pawn but still has to find a way to crack White's position. 22...Bxh3! 23.gxh3 Rxe4 24.Qc2 Rae8 25.Kh2 Qd6! After pinning the knight on the file, Black pins the knight on the diagonal. 26.Qc5 Qb8 27.Kg2
