Raset Agiliaevich Ziatdinov is an Uzbekistani-American chess grandmaster.
Ziatdinov won the Uzbekistani Chess Championship in 1983 and 1985, also playing for the Uzbek SSR at the Soviet Team Championships in both years.[3] He was awarded the grandmaster title in 2005.
In 2000, Ziatdinov tied for first place at the U.S. Masters Chess Championship.
His book, GM-RAM: Essential Grandmaster Knowledge (2000) has a distinctive approach, consisting mostly of positions without analysis or commentary. Even the side to move is not given.
In May 2022, Ziatdinov was defeated in an upset by 10-year-old Sathvik Adiga in the 13th KIIT International Chess Festival.[4]
