What is your favorite chess book?
- My favorite chess book is calculation by Jacob Aagard. It is a very challenging book for higher level players.

Do you have a role model in chess? If so, who?
- I think my role model is Rapport. He plays with many very interesting and non standard ideas.

What is your best chess experience so far?
- My best chess experience is beating Evgeny Bareev (2666) in the Chess Olympiad.
