"When, during the tournament of Saint Affrique 2019, Frédéric Zaborski asked me if I wanted to sponsor his association ECHECS against failure,
I did not hesitate a long time.
I salute her benevolent initiative, hoping that it inspires many other people and gives rise to vocations or, simply, sharing. "

 "In my opinion, practicing Chess offers many opportunities to meet people from different cultures, ages, backgrounds and to discuss with them.

Chess is both a sport and an art.

This combination allows you to surpass yourself, to be creative, to manage your emotions, to accept a defeat to learn something new, which is really instructive. "
