| My name is Pineau Jacques-Marie, I'm born in March 14 which could explain my nickname "JPi" 3.14... French by nationality I live in Japan since 1986. I was Chess Champion of this country in 1987 and 1994. I tried and still Ifm trying to develop Chess in Japan. I wrote few book in Japanese to promote Chess. Alas I was expelled from Japanese Chess Association in 1999 to have made publicity of invitations to a famous Open of the North of France, Cappelle, I negotiated for the second time to JCA (The first time mostly nobody was informed of this very generous invitations). I mostly stopped to play chess at international level from this time (My last international as a regular Chess player was Los Angeles 34th Annual American Open in which I finished 8 with a performance of 2494 Elo. Missing a win in one game which ended draw, losing an equal position in another game, I could do better, therefore meeting my Japanese wife's distant family I kept wonderful times of my travel in US).
Still giving during 10 years the invitations I received from Cappelle I mostly give up tournament chess from 1999 still of course I enjoy casual games with friends. During 12 years I have realized few events between chess and shogi community. In Japan there is nearly 10 millions of shogi fans. Shogi is Japanese Chess with offers few similarity with International Chess, I feel natural to develop chess among shogi players. The seeming natural play of memorable champions like Morphy, Capablanca, Fischer make great impression on me but I enjoy also the complexity of Steinitz, Nimzowitsch, Botvinnik... Among the new wave I'm impressed by the fighting spirit of Nakamura, the logical touch of Giri and the self confidence of Carlsen. Of course this list could be longer. |
