European Team Championships
In team events Austria has not fared so well. Two notable exceptions were the final of the first European Team Championships 1973–1983 in which Austria claimed third place Behind the USSR and FRG with Giselbrecht, Spitzenberger and Danner playing on board 1-3 ; and in the fourth European Team Championships (1993–1999) when Austria finished 4th behind Germany, Italy and Switzerland.
