Chess career
David was born in Milan in 1970, and in 1974 moved with his parents to Luxembourg, where he learned to play chess a year later.[1] He attained some success at the youth level but it was not until he finished his philosophy studies in London in 1992 that his chess career began.[1] He earned his grandmaster title in 1998, becoming Luxembourg's first grandmaster.[2] He competed for Luxembourg at the Chess Olympiads of 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2006, playing on the [[Glossary of chess#template:plain text|top board]] each time. In 2002 he won the individual silver medal with a score of 84.6% (+10–1=2).[3] In 2012 he obtained Italian citizenship and transferred to the Italian Chess Federation in July of the same year.[4] He competed for Italy on board 2 at the 2014 Olympiad.[3]
David's tournament victories include the HZ Tournament in Vlissingen in 1999, the 1st NAO Chess Club GM tournament in Paris in 2003,[5] the Paris Chess Championship in 2003 and 2005, and the inaugural Riga Technical University Open in Riga in 2011.[6] David won the Italian Chess Championship in 2012[1] and 2016 (after winning the playoff against Sabino Brunello)[7] and again in 2019. In 2022 he won the Festival International des Jeunes tournament in Paris after winning on tie-break with Niels Willems.[8]
