Oliver is 21 years young and has been playing chess since he could walk. Chess is his passion - he uses every opportunity to make the board game even more popular and convince even more people to play the "royal game". He does this at the Seebach Chess Club, where he works as a coach. In 2021, he became Swiss Junior Champion, celebrating the greatest success of his career.
