Grandmaster. He was the World Under-14 champion in 1994 and World Under-16 champion in 1996. Israeli champion in 2000 (=Boris Avrukh). The Guinness Book of Records certified his simultaneous exhibition against 523 opponents as being the largest ever by one player.

The exhibition started on 21 October 2010 and finished the next morning.* This record stood for only a few months until February 2011 before Iranian GM Ehsan Ghaem Maghami in turn broke the record.
