Since October 2013 I'm an international FIDE-Arbiter. I was Chief Arbiter of several Elo-rated tournaments, e.g. the German Youth Championship or in the German Bundesliga.
In 2014, with a friend I founded the chess.io GmbH. It aims to develop web-based applications for chess players, e.g. to manage chess tournaments online. Some of its related projects are listed below.
For the German Chess Youth I have organized tournaments with several hundred players each.

Mit der längsten Auswärtsfahrt startete am Sonntag die 1. Mannschaft in die neue Saison der 2. Rheinland-Pfalz-Liga Süd.
In gewöhnlichen Jahren stehen Ende März bereits die letzten Saisonspiele für die Schachvereinigung Weilerbach an – nicht jedoch unter den besonderen Bedingungen der aktuellen Pandemie.
Mit einer perfekten Punkteausbeute von zwei deutlichen Siegen war das Spitzenteam der Schachvereinigung Weilerbach im vergangenen Jahr in die 2. Pfalzliga West gestartet. Am vorletzten Sonntag stand das Duell gegen die Zweitvertretung der SF Birkenfeld an, die ebenfalls bislang verlustpunktfrei geblieben waren.
