I was born on 19th December 1986.
I began to play chess at 7. My first coach, Evgeny Lysenko, taught me to play chess, and also managed to pass part of his sincere love to this game (in my mind, it is the most important quality for child's coach). I am very thankful him for this.
Then I worked with Yuriy Privalov, and in 2000 I started to learn chess in Vladimir Grabinsky group. He is my coach until now.
In 2004 I was awarded with the title of international master.
In 2006 I was awarded the title of international grandmaster.
In 2008 graduated from Ivan Franko Lviv's National University (faculty of mechanics and mathematics).
