- Pandanet account: Lovebach
- Go career: I was born in 1973 and work as a Computer Scientist in the Banking/Financial industry in Geneva and I love Bach. // From 13 to 21 years, I have studied the game of chess. I finished a strong club player but no real ambition on higher levels despite a few successes like a Swiss Team Champion title. I had also a small period where i enjoyed studying the game of bridge with good friends. // At the age of 21, I restarted with the game of go. After a few years of self-study and attending group lessons of wonderful go teachers like Chizu Kobayashi, Li Ang, In-Seong Hwang, I could reach the level of 4 dan but despite their efforts, could not go higher. I would like to thank those teachers a lot, more than skills, they open my eyes on the beauty and philosophy of the game. // I used to be very present in the local clubs, tournaments, Swiss go federation, initiations or teaching leagues, but now i am spending time to study Chinese, practice singing classical pieces and most important, I have just been married, so i would apologize for not being very present those days. // I would like to thank all those making effort to spread this beautiful game and increase the level of Europe.
