Software Developer & Chess Enthusiast
Dutch software engineer building chess apps and sharing the grind on YouTube, from blunders to brilliant tactics.
About me
You can find me on YouTube, where you can watch my own blunders and the occasional nice tactical win. If one of my apps makes your chess week a bit more enjoyable, I'm already happy.
On YouTube
I document my own chess journey on YouTube: rating goals, training experiments, and real games with all the mistakes included.
Whether it's pushing for 2000 FIDE or 2200 rapid, you'll see the honest grind: blunders, comebacks, and the occasional satisfying tactical shot.
