“I’ve won a lot of unforgettable gold medals in my career, but there’s a silver one I’ll never forget as well: the youth world championship in 2016. Playing at the highest level is a blessing. But that moment when you’re still young, still trying to get there, competing with others your age from around the world, all of us looking for that big breaktrough; there will always be something really special about that. It’s also why I’m excited for the Den-Bosch International Tournament. To offer precisely that to young players from my own region and for others from around the world. I wish all the contestants the possibilities to take their game to the next level and the gold medals that come with it. To reach that goal, experiences like these are invaluable. Without a doubt I’m supporting this tournament 100%!”
