Valsecchi victorious in Vienna

by Klaus Besenthal
9/3/2019 – The 21st "Vienna Chess Open" relaunched this traditional tournament in the Austrian capital Vienna after a four-year hiatus. The tournament was a major chess event: Nearly a thousand players from more than fifty countries fought for points for a week in the magnificent Great Hall of the Vienna City Hall. The A-Open won the Italian GM Alessio Valsecchi with 7½/9. As part of the A-Opens also the Austrian Champion was determined: The title went to GM Nikolaus Stanec. | Photo: Wiener Schachverband / Betti Plach

21st Vienna Chess Open

The still untitled American Gabriel Bick caused a stir in Vienna. The 20-year-old had been at the top of the table for almost the entire tournament, until he was defeated in the final round by tournament winner Alessio Valsecchi in a lengthy endgame. Valsecchi was able to prevail with two minor pieces against Bick's rook. That relegated Bick to third place — including a GM norm!

The power of the two pieces was on display in this unusual endgame — particularly in the following forced sequence:

Within the A-Open was the Austrian national championship was determined: The best placed Austrian would be awarded the title, and that honour fell to Grandmaster Nicholas Stanec who ended the tournament in fourth place. It was the twelfth time since 1995 that Stanec — the fifth best Austrian by Elo rating — won the title. Among the women Regina Theissl-Pokorna won the national champion honours.
