The Vienna Game
Dynamic, Flexible and Deeply Underestimated
Download, ChessBase, 1. Auflage 2026
The Vienna Game is one of the most underrated openings in modern chess. While the Ruy Lopez and Italian dominate elite practice, the Vienna offers rich, creative play with far less theoretical burden and enormous practical value.
This course presents three main approaches:
- f2–f4 systems – aggressive, King’s Gambit-style positions with added flexibility
- Early Bc4 lines – solid setups with long-term pressure (including the wild Frankenstein–Dracula Variation)
- g3 systems – positional control of d5 with attacking potential
The Vienna leads to complex, original middlegames and makes you extremely difficult to prepare for. IM Andrew Martin, FIDE Senior Trainer and long-time ChessBase author, guides you through this versatile and dangerous opening weapon.

Die Wiener Partie gehört zu den am meisten unterschätzten Eröffnungen im modernen Schach. Während Spanisch und Italienisch die Praxis auf höchstem Niveau dominieren, bietet die Wiener Partie reiches, kreatives Spiel mit deutlich weniger Theorieaufwand und großem praktischen Wert.
Dieser Kurs stellt drei Hauptansätze vor:
- Systeme mit f2–f4 – aggressives Spiel im Stil des Königsgambits, jedoch mit zusätzlicher Flexibilität
- Frühe Bc4-Varianten – solide Aufbauten mit langfristigem Druck (einschließlich der wilden Frankenstein–Dracula-Variante)
- g3-Systeme – positionelle Kontrolle des Feldes d5 mit starkem Angriffspotenzial
Die Wiener Partie führt zu komplexen, originellen Mittelspielen und macht es für Gegner äußerst schwer, sich gezielt vorzubereiten.
