Matthias Blübaum from Germany
Top seed and elo-favorite of the Accentus Young Masters is German GM Matthias Blübaum, the surprise winner of the strong GRENKE Open at the end of March. However, Blübaum started the tournament with a loss after pressing too hard and avoiding a repetition of moves against Georg Fröwis. But then Blübaum recovered and won his next two games. Particularly impressive was his fine attack in round three against Roland Loetscher:
11-year Vincent Keymer is one of Germany's greatest talents. However, in the first three
rounds things did not go well for him in Bad Ragaz - he suffered three losses in a row.
With 3.0/3 Noel Studer from Switzerland had the best start. His enterprising style helped him to a nice win in round three:
