The first one to catch my eye was Gregory Huber's The Vienna Game, and for a very personal reason: I once wrote a CD about the Vienna and, like my disk on the Ruy Lopez Worrall Attack, it never saw the light of day.
The CD The Vienna Game actually covers two openings: the Vienna (1.e4 e5 2.Nc3) and the Bishop's Opening (1.e4 e5 2.Bc4).
The instructional database on The Vienna Game contains 357 entries; twenty-six of these are texts and the remainder are annotated games.

 Book Review
The Vienna Game remains a slightly under-rated line against 1 e4 e5.
The Vienna is a opening which suits all types of players, as White can either opt for a quiet struggle with much maneuvering, or go for one of a number of sharp gambits.
Overall Lane does a good job of updating Vienna theory, such as by showing that the Pierce Gambit (2 Nc3 Nc6 3 f4 exf4 4 Nf3 g5 5 d4), which can also be reached via a King's Gambit move order, is now rather unsound.

 Chess Strategy, by Edward Lasker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Each move in a game of chess consists of the displacement of one piece only, with the exception of what is termed "castling," in which the King and either Rook can be moved simultaneously by either player once in a game.
If a player resigns his game before he is actually mated, he acknowledges that in the end mate is unavoidable, and the game is counted as a loss to him.
The same applies when in the course of the game the position and number of pieces have been altered in a manner not in accordance with the proper course of play, and the latter cannot be re-constructed from the point where the error was made.

The game itself was not worthy of the crowd (7000!!!), not many scenes worth mentioning.
The game was pretty even, maybe even slightly in Sportklub's favour, but at least towards the end, Vienna was the more active team.
The trend from the last games (the 3-0 against PSV is no indicator, due to the pitch) continued, there were no nice combos (not a single "Zimmer, Küche, Kabinett!"-chant this time), not a lot of creativity.

 Chess openings: Vienna Game (C27)
The king is an active piece in some lines of the King's gambit and in the Steinitz gambit of the Vienna game.
I must mention though, that this variation (Frankenstein-Dracula) very rarely comes up in my games- i have never played it in a tournament, so it is hardly worth studying all the theory, unless you have lots of time.
If you don't want to play against that line as white, play e4 Bc4 d3 and THEN Nc3, when you usually have exactly the same position as the alternative move order except Nxe4 is just stupid.

In view of this, it is perhaps hardly surprising that such enterprising players as Nigel Short, Michael Adams and Boris Spassky have enjoyed great success with the Vienna in recent years.
