I like life. It's something to do, really. Besides that I enjoy cooking, reading, teaching and jazz & bluesrock music.
I play chess as a hobby, I'm no genius. I learned to play chess in Singapore, when I was a little kid. By oktober 2007 some friends and me decided to restart playing chess in a little pub a friend of mine owns.
Now, every saturday we try getting better playing chess, cards and practicing for tablesoccer tournaments. Just like my friends, I always wanna win when playing games no matter what, so that always leads to pretty funny situations. For white I prefer the English opening, I dislike the Scandinavian and Scotch opening. For black I prefer the Sicilian defense, I dislike the Benoni defense. But I try to mix it up.
