I learned chess from my dad when I was 4 years old. Since then it has been a huge part of my life which eventually earned me the title of Grandmaster. Projects include being a Chessable Author and chessvideo's for websites like Chess24, Chessbase, Chess.com and GingerGM.com. Besides chess I have a degree in Psychology from the University of Utrecht.
