Author Biography

I was passionate about chess as well as about mathematics and later programming in my youth, but soon realized that, with my character, I would likely drift too deeply into my own inner world with any of them. Writing became a way to vent my creativity, while the different fields of research represented and still represent my intellectual hobbies. These areas include history, economics, international politics, mathematics, quantum physics, human physiology, and chess opening theory. After 25 years in business life, I decided to fulfil my dream: to become an author and use all my findings in order to paint a holistic view of the current world order.
