Mar-08-09    wordfunph: Markus Ragger was awarded the GM title during the 2008 Dresden Congress, congrats GM Ragger!! Finally your page now with one kibitz.. Mar-08-09    alexmagnus: The best Austrian player. But Austria never was a big chess nation (Steinitz is a tiny exception:)) Mar-08-09    Open Defence: I thought Vienna was the center of 19th century chess Mar-08-09    Prugno: And he also beat Navara yesterday at the European Championship in Montenegro, although as often happens to his opponent it was more a case of David committing suicide... Ragger appears to be a more than worthy GM, at any rate. I wonder if he plans to make chess his career or if he is a part-time player?
