When did you learn to play chess?
My father thought me to play chess when I was five. I played my first tournament when I was eleven. It was a weekend open tourney.

What was your best tournament?
I really like the Canadian Championship 2006. It is very well organized. A team of GMs versus a team of juniors in 2003 was great as well.

It was very challenging. I am happy that I won. My favorite games are with Robert Hamilton and Tomas Krnan.
