Title. International grandmaster. Now in Russia it any more rarity due to efforts of Mr. Klimashev to make this rank "more popular". The business for small - is necessary to learn to play.

From that moment, when has seen on the top lines of a rating of a surname of draughts players, still yesterday dreaming only to get in the final of a championship USSR. They have not achieved progress in the game, the phenomenon is explained rather simply. At new federation of steel to win not the best sportsmens, and those who at all does not hesitate " to purchase consignments " and whole tournaments. So "business" has come in Russian checkers...

Favourite film. Cinema I love, like "Stalker" and "Solyaris" by A.Tarkovsky. And in general, I love old Soviet films, comedy of Ryazanov and Gaidai more.
Favourite group. Beatles. It seems, for my generation of alternative simply does not exist. With pleasure I collect the books about this group and I look through they's DVD with interview and performances.
Favourite kind of sports. I attend by table tennis, ski and bicycle. I love to supervise of matches NBA, Formulа-1, competitions on a ski.
Favourite command. Moscow "Dinamo", though all life acted for "Locomotive"
Favourite country. There, where was born. Probably, is better, but the native land happens only one...
Favourite city. Moscow and … Оrlando (USA,Florida). In first I was born, and in second is Disneyworld. Well this children's park is pleasant to me, though for a long time already has left this age. The place, where is wonderfully had a rest far from human vanity.
Hobby besides checkers. The computer and ... family. First has developed into professional activity and became to take away a great lot of time in second. Unforchunatelly...

Favourite draughts editing. The old Soviet journal "Checkers". Unfortunately, too late has understood, that it, in essence, book of a history of checkers in USSR, and is a pity, that and did not begin to collect these journals. But stayed with pleasure I review.
Idol in checkers. Can because, that progressed fast, had not time by those to get.
How many time devote to checkers. After 1991 recollected them not each month, as the computer business took away all forces. But all the same has found time to play in two world championships under the Brazilian version and several command championships of Brasil. Now occasionally there is a desire поанализировать of an item, and that and to play in any tournament.
Whether dreamed to become the champion of the world. As is spoken, " that soldier is bad, who doesn't dream to be general… " And life so has developed, that was possible to win this title.
