Markus Ragger wins Vienna Open

by Johannes Fischer
8/23/2016 – 310 players started in the A-group of the Vienna Open, top seed was Austria's number one, GM Markus Ragger. But in a tournament with 310 players there is not much room for error if you want to finish first. However, Ragger was more than up to the task. He started with 5.0/5 and then played a short pragmatic draw against second seed Rainer Buhmann in round six. In rounds seven and eight he won again. In the ninth and last round he then only needed a draw to finish clear first with 8.0/9.

With a rating-performance of 2775 Ragger won 10.9 Elo-points and is now very close to 2700. Half-a-point behind Ragger followed two players with 7.5/9: IM Volodymyr Vetoshko from Ukraine (born in 1998) and 11-year old German Vincent Keymer who had a rating performance of 2586, made an IM-norm, narrowly missed a GM-norm and won no less than 54.0 Elo-points.

In the last round Keymer won a convincing attacking game with Black against German GM Gerald Hertneck, in the 1990s one of Germany's strongest players.

White shatters Black's pawn structure but Black gets play on the f-file. In the game Black's counterplay turns out to be surprisingly strong. fxg6 16.e4 e5 17.g5 hxg5 18.hxg5 Nh5 19.dxe5 Qxe5 20.Qb3+ Kh7 21.Ne2 Bc5!
Targeting White's biggest weakness: f2. 22.Bd2?! It was safer to neutralize the black-squared bishop with 22.Be3 e.g. Bxe3 23.Qxe3 Nc4 24.Qc3 Qxc3 25.bxc3 Rf7 26.f4 with a roughly equal position. 22...Rad8 23.Rad1?
Now Black has a hidden tactical win. 23...Rd7? But the tactical resource is so deeply hidden that Black also misses it. After 23...Bxf2+! 24.Rxf2 Qc5 Black is winning because White cannot defend the rook on f2 adequately, e.g. 25.Bf3 Nc4 26.Rc1 Rxd2 27.Rxc4 Rxf3 28.Rxc5 Rxb3 with a winning position for Black. However, after the move in the game Black is also better. 24.Bc3 According to the engines White here had to play 24.Be3 e.g. Bxe3 25.fxe3 Rfd8 26.Nd4 with a slight plus for Black. However, 24.Be3 is an engine but not a human move. 24...Qxg5 25.Rxd7 Nxd7 26.Qxb7 Qg4!
After this strong moves which defends d7 and attacks e2 White is lost because he cannot adequately defend e2, f2 and his king. 27.Qa6 Qh4 With an attack on f2. 28.Bd4 Bxd4 29.Nxd4 Nf4 Threatening 30...Qg4 or 30...Qg5. 30.Qxc6 Ne5 31.Qc3 Ned3 32.e5 Rd8!
Black now threatens 33.. .Rxd4 34.Qxd4 Ne2+ winning the queen and the knight cannot move because of ... Ne2+. White will lose material and therefore resigned. 0–1
