FIDE Chess in Vienna, Austria

Avatar of Magnafox

I'm going to be traveling to Vienna, Austria in July of 2015. Does anyone know of some popular chess clubs in or near Vienna? I am extrememly interested in receiving a FIDE rating when I go, so I need to play in at least 5 games (which shouldn't be hard, considering I am staying there for an entire month) and draw at least one. I will probably never get the chance to go back so this is extremely important to me.


The questions I have are as follows:

  1. Since I am a US citizen and a member of the US Chess Federation, can I still play in the FIDE tournaments there and receive a rating?
  2. Are there any good chess clubs near or in Vienna? If so, how can I contact them? Where and when do they meet?
If you have any tips for me, please leave it in the comments below! Thanks!

Hey walter3of5, Budapest is just too far away. I want to stay in or directly near Vienna. I don't want to put my cousins out too much, ya know?
