In 1996 he won the World U16 Championship. Eight years later in 2004, he contested the Classical World Championship against the incumbent Vladimir Kramnik.

📘 31.Kd6?
In this position, the vital e5-square is very important. If the white king can penetrate to e5-square, he wins the game. Black could save himself by playing:
(31...h6! 32.h4 Ke7 33.g5 Kf7! 34.g×h6 Kg8! =)

White could have won the game by putting black in zugzwang:
(33.Kf3! Kf7 34.g×f6! K×f6 35.Ke4 h6 36.h3! h5 37.h4 Kf7 38.Ke5 Ke7 39.f5 +-)
33...Kf7 34.f5
Now, The planning of Kf3 and then exchanging on f6 doesn't work, since White no longer has a reserved tempo of the pawn on the h-file. for example:
(34.Kf3 Kg6 35.g×f6 K×f6 36.Ke4 h5 =)
34...Ke7 (e5!=an easy draw)
35.Kf4 Kf7?? (35...e5=)
