Ronen also discusses his background in chess and the development of his skill. He credits living in Israel as a youth since back then they were not allowed to own land so they lived in their own places and put intense focus into developing the brain through chess. He also gives credit to the Russian emigration to Israel for his chess ability as he had many other strong players to train with.

Ronen Har-Zvi is known as one of the best simul givers where he usually does not even lose 1 game. At the age of 15 he was the U16 champion and at the age of 18 he achieved the GrandMaster title. He is well known for giving frequent simul events on some internet chess servers.
