Chess

Ever since my father tought me the rules of chess, around the time the famous match Fischer-Spassky was being played, I developed a strong taste for this "royal game". As a teenager I witnessed the birth of the local (Hoboken) chess club "de zwarte dame", and started playing there regularly.

When going to Brussels for my university studies I had to stop playing for about 4 years. During those years my cosy little club was swallowed by the more ambitious Hoboken club Moretus. I joined Moretus in 1985, and today I'm still playing there.

I won the Moretus cup final in 2005 and 2012, and in 2006 the championship of the first division..
