Personal data

  • Identity card: 6986359LP
  • Marital status: Single woman

I have loved playing chess since I was a child.

I was about 7 years old when my father bought a chess set for my brother because his teachers had asked for one at school. I was very curious about it, so I started playing with my older brother and then with my sisters. Somehow, I had a lot of fun, especially because I usually ended up winning the game. When I have the opportunity, I still enjoy it very much.
