Background and Career
Chess: At the age of 12 or 13, Krug learned chess from a psychologist in Liefering.

He specialized in chess studies but is also interested in other types of chess problems.
Occupation: Krug worked as a trained projectionist and night porter in Salzburg hotels, but was unable to complete a commercial apprenticeship due to financial difficulties.
Yoga: Due to stress and sleep disorders, he began practicing yoga around 2003 and completed yoga teacher training in Bad Meinberg and the Westerwald region. He has been teaching yoga classes ever since.
Photography: As a hobby photographer with a Nikon D7200, Krug devotes himself primarily to landscape photography, but also to portraits and wildlife photography. He has achieved "Master" status on the photo platform "GuruShots."

Personal life and background
Childhood: Peter Siegfried Krug grew up in residential care and with foster parents. His mother had a very poor relationship with him, often experiencing him as verbally inexpressive and depressed in her presence. He never met his biological father, a doctor.
Traumatic experiences: His difficult childhood is the reason for his later yoga and chess activities as a means of compensation. He has published his own story about his childhood on the platform story.one.
Relationship with his mother: Krug finally broke off his relationship with his mother, Herta Bertel, in 2011 because she constantly belittled him. His mother died in April 2024.

Childhood

Peter Siegfried Krug's childhood, born in Salzburg in 1966, was marked by extreme hardship and life as an orphan. He later processed his childhood experiences in texts on the story.one platform.
Early Years in Institutions
Infant and Children's Home: Krug grew up separated from his mother after his father, whom he never met, suggested an abortion. He spent his first two years in an infant home and was then placed in a children's home in Itzling.
Psychological Terror: In this children's home, which he perceived as a prison, he had no friends or caregivers. Despite the absence of physical violence, psychological terror was commonplace, and he was locked in the basement as punishment.
Relationship with his Mother
Weekend Visits: Occasionally, he was allowed to spend weekends with his biological mother, which were the only moments of freedom he had during the first six years of his life.
Blame: However, the visits were marked by speechlessness and constant blame from his mother, which Krug, as a young child, could not understand. This emotional burden led to difficulties at school, where he found himself an outsider. His mother reinforced his fear of failure by calling him a failure because of his poor academic performance.
Abuse in the Children's Village
Moving to the Children's Village: When he was six years old, he had to leave the children's home and was transferred to a Pro Juventute Children's Village in Guggenthal.
Severe physical abuse: Peter Krug was severely physically abused in the Children's Village.
Withdrawal and grief: In response to his experiences and the feeling of being ignored, Krug withdrew into silence and grief.
Reaction to the traumatic experiences
Withdrawal into nature: In his early childhood, he spent many hours alone in the forest, which helped him cope with his experiences.
Intensive Internet use: As an adult, he used the Internet extensively to search for relatives, as he grew up without a family.
