What is your favorite chess book?
- My favourite chess books are more related to chess history - like Sosonko's "Reliable Past" and "Collected Portraits and Tales...",

also Kasparov's "My Great Predecessors".

Do you have a role model in chess? If so, who?
- When I was boy of 11-14, I was a huge fan of Andersson and Miles, despite them being so different in style (generally in everything ) .

Since then no one. 

What is your best chess experience so far?
- My best experiences were my first victories at the Bulgarian Championships (1991) and the Danish Championships (2023) . Although the

titles following these were nice also :)

What are your expectations for the tournament?
- I try not to have expectations. Although after so many 2nd places in Norwegian tournaments (Oslo Festival 2016; 2017 , Fagernes 2017

and Kragero 2022 ) - maybe I can improve a little?  :)

What do you enjoy most about chess?
- What I enjoy most is just to play (well...and possibly to win events). But I enjoy visiting interesting places also, Trondheim is surely one!
