Aleksandr Kasyan - The Blitz Maestro
Title: International Master (FIDE)
Aleksandr Kasyan, also known in the online chess circles as dreamanarchy, is a formidable International Master renowned for his lightning-fast tactics and relentless endgame prowess. With a blitz rating soaring past 2500 at his peak in 2023, Aleksandr has proven time and again that rapid-fire decisions are his specialty—just don’t blink, or you might miss his winning move!
Career Highlights & Style
- Reached a peak blitz rating of 2562 in 2023, demonstrating impressive growth and consistency over the years.
- Boasts a win rate of nearly 50% across more than 1200 blitz games using his favorite secret opening (which he guards more closely than his chess pieces).
- Current winning streak of 1 game and an all-time longest streak of 9 wins—chess fans suspect a secret caffeine stash fuels his rapid-fire decisions.
- Aleksandr’s style is a blend of patience and aggression: an average winning game lasts around 73 moves, showcasing deep strategic endurance, while his losses tend to come quicker, proving he’s not scared to take risks.
Mind Games and Tactics
Known for his tactical wizardry, Aleksandr has a 100% win rate after losing a piece. Yes, you read that right: if you manage to steal his knight or bishop, prepare for a comeback worthy of a Hollywood script. This resilience is paired with a relatively low tilt factor (9), meaning he keeps his composure even when the game gets intense.
Psychological Profile & Fun Facts
Aleksandr’s shorter average moves per loss and tendency to resign early (just under 1% of games) suggests he knows when to cut his losses—a trait that many would envy! He also prefers to grind out long endgames, with them appearing in nearly 74% of his games. Rumor has it he once played an entire blitz game while holding a cup of coffee, keyboard, and a sandwich—talk about multitasking on the board!
Day & Time Preferences
If you want to catch Aleksandr at his peak, challenge him around 3 AM or 8 AM when his win rates hit their highest (over 58%!). Oddly enough, mornings seem better than evenings, where his win rate dips, possibly due to a craving for more caffeine.
