Chess career edit
In September 2018, he played for Belgium at the 43rd Chess Olympiad, where they defeated Malawi 3.5-0.5.[1]
In July 2022, he played for Belgium at the 44th Chess Olympiad, losing to Francisco Vallejo Pons (whom he had defeated in their previous encounter) during their encounter with Spain.[2]
In December 2022, he was given a one-year ban after refusing a metal detector scan at the Benidorm Open.[3] He was disqualified and not paired for the ninth and final rounds, though statistician Kenneth W. Regan was not able to find any evidence of Docx cheating.[4]
