Profile	I started playing Backgammon about 1995 and my highlight was winning the Austrian Championship in 2003.Due to moving away from Vienna and an intense job I stopped playing around 2005.Several years later I returned to my great love chess,which I had been playing since my youth until the start of my Backgammon interest.2010 I started playing chess again and finally in 2022 I made my Backgammon comeback.Being retired I now play both of this great mind games and still try to improve the quality of my game.
