Go career: I discovered Go at 16 in high school, and the game quickly became a lifelong passion. As a student, I spent nearly a year in Japan, where I had the chance to study as an insei (Go student) on weekends. Since then, I’ve won the Swiss Go Championship several times and represented Switzerland at international tournaments in Korea and Japan.

Go career: Learn when I was 15, in Ko Go Club of Geneva (Switzerland) // Played occasionally since then, and met Chizu Kobayashi 5p who did big effort at this time in Switzerland to promote Go towards young players // With John Walch, I became Insei for one year in Japan thanks to the help of C. Kobayashi // I left as a 2 kyu, and came back in august 2009 as a 1-2 dan // Did not play Go much since then, but hope to find somee time and continue progressing very soon.

Go career: I discovered Go in 2009 at age 14, when I stumbled upon the manga Hikaru no Go in my school's library. I found out there was a club near me in La Tour-de-Peilz, and I attended my first tournament in 2010. Progressing further became difficult because of life events, but now that I have the opportunity to fully focus on Go once again, I was finally able to reach 1 dan and win my first tournament in 2024. In the future, I hope to become Swiss Champion and represent Switzerland in international events.
