== Biography ==
Dragos began playing Go when he was 13 years old. After just one year he rose to the rank of 1 dan. After winning the Romanian Youth Championship twice he started to wonder if he'd ever be invited to study in [[Japan]]. Finally, when he met [[Kobayashi Chizu]] in [[Italy]] at the European Go Congress where he was finally offered the chance to become an [[insei]] in Japan. In 1997 he moved to Japan. He played [[Ishida Yoshio]] for a Go magazine a mere month after moving to Japan. He was doing very well as an insei, staying on top of class A. Due to these results and Kobayashi Chizu's help, Dragos was able to study with Japan's top player at the time, Cho Chikun. Dragos was very honored because at the time, [[Cho Chikun]] held the three top titles in Japan ([[Kisei]], [[Meijin]], and [[Honinbo]]). His best result as an insei was almost qualifying for the Honsen, which was where the top three players where promoted to professionals. He had scored 2 wins and 3 losses, just one win away from entering Honsen. After spending a year as an insei, Dragos decided to move back to Romania and finished his schooling. In 2005 he graduated from the [[University of Bucharest]] with a degree in [[computer science]]. He currently works for [[Qubit Computers]], of which he co-owns.
