Naslov velemajstora osvojio je 1979. Autor je dvije knjige. Objavio je 2006. na francuskom knjigu Philidorovo naslje\u0111e (izvorno: L\u2018h\u00e9ritage de Philidor).<\/p>\n

Monumentalna je njegova knjiga Teorija \u0161ahovske kombinacije, koja je objavljena 2007. godine i koju \u2018\u2018hrvatski Francuz\u2018\u2018 VM Darko Ani\u0107 prevodi za francuskog izdava\u010da.<\/p>\n

Na na\u0161e pitanje koja mu je najdra\u017ea pobjeda rekao je:<\/p>\n

– Pobjeda protiv engleskog velemajstora Tonyja Milesa koji je dugo godina bio u top 10 igra\u010da svijeta.<\/p>\n
