Germans lead in Austrian League

Last Thursday, the new season of the Austrian League started. Top favourite is the team of ASV Linz with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave on board one. However, the star-studded team had a somewhat rocky start and drew two of their first four matches, and now share third and fourth place. With three wins and one draw the teams of Jenbach and Ottakring share the lead. | Photo: Matthias Blübaum (left) plays against Markus Ragger | Photos: Knapp/Theny (Austrian Chess Federation)
