Welcome to my little chess world
Chess is, beside beer, my great passion.
Over the Board
I am playing actively since 1993 as a member of the Schachgesellschaft Biel.
Since 2005 I am also member of the Schachklub Biel.
My actual national rating is 1987.
Correspondence
...You also have to know how to use the different programs, because you can have 'Fritz','Shredder', 'Junior' and 'Rybka',
from my experience, they often contradict each other. So knowing which machine plays better in certain situations and
whether in this type of position you use this machine and in another one you use a different one. It's a new form of
creativity, but it is still creativity, because creativity is your ability to be different from the crowd.»
(G. Kasparov, Chess-Café-Interview 2007)
I have started to play correspondence chess back in 1995 against some club members. Then, between 1999 and 2003, I played
more than 300 games as a member of the International E-mail Chess Club (IECC).
In summer of 2003 I became member of the Schweizer Fernschachvereinigung.
Some weeks later I started to play on ICCF (Internet Correspondence Chess Federation).
My correspondence rating is 2418.
I have reached my first IM norm on May 3rd 2009 and my second on February 1st 2012. I have also been awarded the title of International Correspondence Chess Master (IM) in 2012.
