I hold advanced degrees in mathematics, complex systems and psychology, and am a member of the International High I.Q. Society, and past member of MENSA.

I am a past Candidate Master (OTB) and Correspondence Master.

My favorite opening is the Tiger and Dragon, a chess system of my own design.

My chess heroes are Nimzowitsch, Breyer, Pillsbury, Emanuel Lasker and more currently, Bojan Kurajica.

My favorite books of all time, are "Ender's Game", by Orson Scott Card, and "The Glass Bead Game", by Hermann Hesse.

You will most often find me listening to the music of Enya, Vangelis or Vivaldi, and reading SunTzu, von Clausewitz or Miyamoto Musashi's "Book of Five Rings".
