Grandmaster Rustam Kasimdzhanov from Uzbekistan has for many years been known as a very strong and imaginative player. However in 2004 Rustam Kasimdzhanov shocked the chess world by winning the FIDE world chess championship title, beating a string of world-class players like Ivanchuk, Grischuk, Topalov and Adams in the process. The Uzbekian grandmaster, who has helped Anand in both his World Championship matches, lives in Germany. Over the years he recorded a number of highly praised DVDs for ChessBase, especially opening DVDs. He also worked as an opening trainer for the german national team which won surprisingly the 2011 European Team Championship with the help of Kasimdzhanov.
