Vienna is Austria's primary city, with a population of about 1.731 million} 1. e4 {Geza Maroczy was born in Szeged, Hungary on March 3, 1870. He won the "minor" tournament at Hastings 1895, and over the next ten years he won several top prizes in international events. In 1906 he agreed to terms for a World Championship match with Dr. Emanuel Lasker, but political problems in Cuba, where the match was to be played, caused the arrangements to be cancelled. Maroczy's chess career spanned from 1895 to 1911 and 1920 to 1936 with the break in between to allow for more time to be devoted to his profession as a mathematics teacher. He served as a teacher for Dr. Max Euwe and Vera Menchik. Today the Maroczy Bind (pawns on c4 and e4 against the Sicilian) carries his name.} e5 2. f4 {Mikhail Ivanovich Chigorin (also spelled Tchigorin, Tjigorin, or Tschigorin) born November 12, 1850, in Gatchina, Russia, was the first great Russian player. He influenced the subsequent Soviet School of Chess, which dominated the world in the latter half of the 20th century. He played two World Championship matches against Wilhelm Steinitz, he lost once in 1889 10.5-6.5, and again in 1892 12.5-10.5. Chigorin has many openings named after him, most notably the Chigorin Variation of the Ruy Lopez (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6. Re1 b5 7.
