Alina Kashlinskaya (AliKa2810) - The International Master Maestro

Meet Alina Kashlinskaya, a chess wunderkind carrying the prestigious title of International Master bestowed by FIDE. With a rating rollercoaster that peaked dramatically at a blitz rating of 2850 in April 2020, Alina is no stranger to blitz battles that make blink-and-you-miss-it seem like a slow dance.

Known online as AliKa2810, she’s got a blitz win rate slightly tipping the scales at over 51% across nearly 1,400 games — that’s a lot of checkmates and probably some bruised egos too. Over 700 wins, several nail-biting draws, and a good number of losses to keep things spicy prove she’s as human as she is brilliant.

Her gameplay could be described as a long and thoughtful siege: the average winning game lasts about 79 moves, and losses tend to be of similar length. Basically, Alina doesn't rush — she’s patient, strategic, and deadly in the endgame, which she frequents a whopping 86.82% of the time. Opponents beware: resignation is a favorite way of losing to her, which means she grinds them into submission until they wave the white flag.

Timing is everything for Alina. She’s often at her sharpest around 11 AM, boasting a comeback rate exceeding 90%. That’s right, if you think you’ve snagged a pawn, think again — Alina will turn your hopeful grin into a grimace as she reverses the tide.

Funny thing about her opening repertoire — it's so secret, it’s literally called “Top Secret”. Whether it’s blitz, bullet, or rapid, she maintains a steady win rate hovering around the 50-51% mark. If only we could crack that secret, the chess world might just never recover.

And speaking of bullet chess, Alina blitzes through her opponents at a peak rating of 2672, with a win rate just over 50%. But don’t blink — she’s lightning fast and precise, making her an unpredictable force in these ultra-quick skirmishes.

Recent Glories & Defeats

On February 19, 2024, AliKa2810 secured a stunning victory against Airquake in a Sicilian Defense face-off, winning by resignation after punchy mid-game tactics and a final flourish of check threats. Not long before that, she executed a classic checkmate against Viktor_Soloviev — a swift reminder that even the smallest misstep can be fatal in her games.

But even champions stumble. Earlier in 2024, Alina faced tough matches where her opponents capitalized on crucial moments, learning experiences that only fuel her fierce comeback spirit.

Whether raining triumphant checkmates or shaking her head at surprising upsets, Alina Kashlinskaya is a deep thinker, a fierce competitor, and quite possibly your next chess nightmare.
