The SK Baden , in the long form Schachklub Baden , is a chess club founded in 1924 in the spa town of Baden in Lower Austria . On the success card is the two-time win of the championship title in the Austrian Chess League ; most recently in the 2011/12 season .
history
The first organized beginnings of the royal game in the city of Baden occurred in 1914 with the establishment of the Baden Casino Club . At the international gambit tournament held on the occasion of this foundation, only gambit openings were permitted in addition to the ladies' gambit .
This initiative led to the founding of the Baden Chess Club in 1922 . In 1924 the association joined the umbrella organization of the Austrian Workers' Chess Federation (ÖASB) and was divided into the District 3 Southern Railway Line with the associations from Wiener Neustadt, Atzgersdorf-Erlaa, Oberlaa, Liesing, Baden, Leobersdorf, Berndorf and Neunkirchen. In 1925 the ÖASB district championship took place for the first time, but SK Baden has not yet taken part; The winner was the 1st Wiener Neustädter SV ahead of Neunkirchen, Ortmann and Guntramsdorf.
With the admission of the ÖASB to the Working Group for Sport and Physical Culture in Austria (ASKÖ), a new district division was decided in 1926, with which the SK Baden was divided into the Südbahn-Aspangbahn district. SK Baden first made a name for itself when the player Lounek took part in a national competition for the Austrian selection in 1929.
Before Austria was annexed to Germany, the last major tournament in Austria took place at Semmering ( Hotel Panhans ) and in Baden (Hotel Grüner Baum), in which the best chess players in the world took part. A total of eight grandmasters fought in a double round for victory, which was finally won by Paul Keres with 9.0 board points, relegating Reuben Fine (8.0) as well as José Raúl Capablanca and Samuel Reshevsky (both 7.5) to the places. The young Austrian Erich Eliskases (6.0) established himself in the world class with sixth place.
During the time of the Second World War , games in Baden were largely suspended. With the re-establishment of the Austrian Chess Federation in 1946, the clubs were back in business.
The first great success in the club's history came in 1949 when SK Baden (18.5 board points, squad: Lounek, Partmann, Moßböck, Bogner, Hofmüller, Resch and Rusniok) ahead of SK Hainburg (13.0) and the SK Horn (11.0) won the Lower Austrian state championship in team chess. In 1951, SK Baden was able to repeat this success by winning the newly founded Lower Austrian regional league. In 1962 and 1954 the Lower Austrian state championship title went again to the SK Baden, whereby the SK St. Pölten could be relegated to second place.
1956 was a true year of success. By winning the Lower Austrian state championship, in which SK Wilhelmsburg was defeated with 12.5: 3.5 points in the final, SK Baden was able to qualify for the Austrian national team championship for the first time. With the second place behind Linzer SV , the Baden team caused a surprise.
The final of the 1st European team championship in chess , held in Vienna and Baden in 1957 , in which the Soviet Union emerged victorious over Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia , ensured an international reputation . Baden became a pioneer of the pan-European chess sport.
There were further participations in the Austrian national team championship in 1960 (third place) and 1962 (fourth place), before a long dry spell followed in this regard. It was not until 1989 that SK Baden was able to qualify for the newly installed state league again as runner-up in the qualifying tournament behind SK Absam . Although in the 1989/90 season the SK Baden with FM Reinhard Lendwai , FM Franz Stoppel and Stefan Brandner as well as the legionnaires Khaled Mahdy (Egypt) and Juri Sinowjew (USSR) came second in the state league behind SK Merkur Graz the team withdrew from the competition at the end of the season.
It was not until 1997 that a small success could be booked with the win of the Lower Austrian provincial championship title, with which the promotion to the State League B (group east) succeeded. In 2000, with second place behind SG Austria Wien / Husek, the qualification for the promotion tournament in the state league was just missed. After the 2002/03 season, SK Baden had to relegate from the State League B again. After the victory in the Lower Austrian regional league was fixed in the following season, the immediate resurgence succeeded, which was to be the starting shot for the most successful era of SK Baden.
Promotion to the Bundesliga
In the 2004/05 season, SK Baden had to be satisfied with the runner-up title behind SV Wulkaprodersdorf in the second-highest division, which has now been renamed to 2. Bundesliga East . In the 2005/06 season the SK Baden team reached: IM Sebastian Siebrecht (Germany), IM Stefan Löffler (Germany), IM Günter Miniböck , FM Harald Schneider-Zinner, FM Stefan Brandner, Michael Sulyok, Martin Herndlbauer, Stefan Zojer, Daniel Filip - the championship title in the Bundesliga East and with it direct promotion to the Austrian Chess League .
The main sponsor of the association has been the Wiener GmbH Advisory Invest since 2006 .
For the Bundesliga season 2006/07 , the first team was significantly strengthened, so that with eighth place the relegation was certainly made. With Viktor Láznička (Czech Republic), Sergey Erenburg (Israel) and Igor Rausis (Czech Republic) three grandmasters joined the team; in addition came the international champions Reinhard Lendwai and Siegfried Baumegger , with which SK Baden competed in the championship with five legionnaires and six Austrians.
First Austrian championship title in 2008
In the 2007/08 season , the team was reinforced with the grandmasters Bartosz Soćko (Poland), Csaba Balogh (Hungary) and Igor Štohl (Slovakia) as well as the IM Andrei Orlow (Russia). Ultimately, the championship was contested by seven legionnaires and only two Austrians ( Siegfried Baumegger and Reinhard Lendwai ). SK Baden rushed from victory to victory in the championship and only had to give up one defeat and one draw. Nevertheless, it was a head-to-head race with SK Semriach , which ended in a tie for board and team points. Since SK Baden won the direct comparison with 3½: 2½, it secured the first Austrian championship title in the club's history. The second team also fought successfully with ninth place, with which they managed to stay in the 2. Bundesliga East.
By winning the national championship title, SK Baden qualified for the European Club Cup , which was held in Kallithea (Greece) in October 2008 . As the best Austrian team, SK Baden came 23rd out of 63 teams. The clear 6-0 win against Monaco was outstanding.
The 2008/09 season was not quite as successful . Seven wins, two draws and two defeats were enough despite the almost unchanged team - only Andrei Orlow did not play - ultimately only to the runner-up title behind the newcomer SK Husek Wien , who contested the championship with ten grandmasters. It was noteworthy that Baden took part in five championship competitions with a total of 42 players.
In the 2009/10 season , in which the championship points were used for the ranking instead of the board point rating, the Baden team had to make do with third place in the Bundesliga behind the superior champions SK Sparkasse Jenbach and SK Semriach. While the Tyroleans remained victorious in all games, Baden suffered three defeats and one draw. On the other hand, the relegation of the second team from the 2nd Bundesliga East was bitter. This would have held the league with ninth place, but since two clubs, SV Pamhagen and the reigning champions SK Husek Wien, were relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga East, Baden also had to relegate.
SK Jenbach continued its successful run in the 2010/11 season and finished all Bundesliga championship games victorious. In the places behind that, SV Wulkaprodersdorf landed before SK Baden. Both clubs had to admit defeat just the Tyroleans, but that had teams of SK Baden have a draw more than the Burgenland . All the greater was the joy of winning the championship title in the Lower Austrian regional league, because with it the promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga East was possible. For the club, the participation of the second team in the second highest league is an important basis for the Bundesliga, as it allows the players to be challenged and developed accordingly. SK Baden attaches great importance to this continuous development, which is also documented in the fact that a total of six teams took part in the championship.
Second Austrian championship title in 2012
The 2011/12 Bundesliga season was thrilling right up to the last game . SK Baden and SK Jenbach fought head-to-head, which was only decided in the very last game. In the duel of the legionaries, Bartosz Soćko prevailed against Martin Krämer , with which SK Baden reached a 3-3 draw against SV Wulkaprodersdorf. The Badeners and the Tyroleans each had 18 championship points. Thanks to the lead of 2.5 board points, SK Baden was able to dethrone reigning champion Jenbach and secure the second Austrian championship title in the club's history. The team from Baden was cheering accordingly .
Strengthened by winning the championship title, but weakened by illness-related absences, SK Baden took part in the European Chess Cup for the second time. This time the venue was Rogaška Slatina in Slovenia . The fact that only an amateur team strengthened with champions makes the performance - SK Baden finished 34th out of 61 teams - explainable.
One downer was the performance of the second team in the 2. Bundesliga East. Although the relegation was factored in due to the use of young players on the back boards, the fact that only two points from eleven games and only 19.5 board points were achieved was disappointing. The only victory was 4-2 against SG Eichgraben-Purkersdorf.
