Kasimir Yacinov (kadizzy)
Kasimir Yacinov, better known in the chess realm as kadizzy, is the kind of player who proves that perseverance and a touch of flair can shake the 64 squares with style. Born with a chessboard in one hand and a quirky tactical mindset in the other, Kasimir has battled through blitz, rapid, bullet, and even daily chess, steadily refining his craft well beyond the average player's reach.
Rating and Stats
Rising from humble beginnings, Kasimir's Blitz rating cracked the 1100 mark in early 2025, a milestone of a true warrior who isn’t afraid of the ticking clock. On Rapid boards, he reached an impressive peak of 1179 in late 2023, while his Bullet games peeked at a solid 752 in October 2023. Daily chess may not be Kasimir’s jam yet (hovering around 400), but with the fire he brings to faster time controls, don’t be surprised to see that change.
Style & Play
With an Early Resignation Rate of just 3.63%, Kasimir doesn't quit until the fat lady sings—usually with a checkmate fanfare. His games buffet opponents with an average of 60 moves per win, indicating deeply strategic and engaging play, favoring complexity and endurance over quick tricks. An admirable Comeback Rate of 77.89% showcases his fighting spirit; Kasimir is the kind of adversary who laughs in the face of lost pieces (not always winning afterwards, but hey, 44.69% success post-piece loss is nothing to sneeze at).
Kasimir’s chess clock seems to favor the wee hours—his best time to play is 2 a.m., where perhaps the sleep-deprived brain enjoys those sneaky tactics best. The psychological tilt factor of 10 reveals he’s mastering the art of keeping a cool head, even when the digital battlefield heats up.
Memorable Moments
One of his most delightful recent victories was a dazzling checkmate in the Queens Gambit Accepted Central Variation—a classic dance of strategy, timing, and a well-timed Ne7#. Kasimir even managed to checkmate right under pressure in a fiery Italian Game Knight Attack, proving his nerves of steel and uncanny endgame vision.
Opening Repertoire
While “Unknown Opening” might be a mysterious catch-all for his many creative gambits, Kasimir shows a lady’s preference for the Queens Gambit Declined with a strong win rate of nearly 78%, and a respectable 56% success rate with the Italian Game Knight Attack Fritz Variation. He’s no slave to the mainstream and sprinkles his games with less conventional openings like the Top Secret and the curious Englund Gambit. Keep your eye on him; he might surprise you with something from the chess vault of curiosities.
Opponent Relations
Kasimir’s list of foes is as long as his win column, but he’s shown a peculiar knack for certain players, boasting 100% win rates against many. Some opponents have learned the hard way that kadizzy means business—whether it’s blitzing or rapid play.
In Conclusion
If chess were a battlefield, Kasimir Yacinov’s avatar would be both the tactical general and the relentless duelist who keeps you on your toes, armed with an unpredictable arsenal and a cheeky grin. His journey through online chess is a testament to fun, resilience, and the occasional brilliant checkmate delivered just when you least expect it.
Follow kadizzy on his quest—one pawn, one knight, and one cunning move at a time.
Kasimir, here’s a focused improvement plan based on your latest blitz games
1. Opening discipline – fewer lines, deeper understanding
- You often answer 1.d4 with the Englund Gambit (1…e5). While it leads to fun tactics, it also gives White a healthy plus if they know the theory. Try adding one solid reply (e.g. the Queen’s Gambit Declined) so you can choose between surprise value and sound structure depending on the opponent.
- With White you favour the “early-e4” Queen’s Gambit Accepted lines. These are excellent, but be careful not to push
e4andf3together unless your king is already safe – see the loss versus jojo67868. - Homework: build a 10-move “mini-repertoire” you can recall without thinking. The goal is to reach positions you recognise so the clock starts in your favour.
2. King safety & castling habits
- In half of the losses your king stayed in the centre long after move 10. A simple rule: if the centre is open, castle within the next two moves.
- Practise spotting “loose” diagonals. In the loss to greerchess9990009 your queen raids pawns but allows 8…Qc3! winning a piece because
e2was unguarded.
3. Tactical training (forks & zwischenzugs)
Your rating range (1000-1100) is decided by short tactics. Every game you either won or lost a piece in under 20 moves.
- Spend 10 minutes a day on puzzles rated 1000-1400. Aim for 80 % accuracy; speed is secondary.
- Specific motif to drill: the knight fork on
e5/e4– it hurt you in both the win vs trentaa1 (you used it) and the loss vs jojo (it hit you). - Review this critical fragment and look for better replies:
4. Converting advantages – play “slow” when you are winning
- In winning positions you sometimes continue attacking instead of simplifying. After 31.Rb6! in the game versus riko89 you could have exchanged rooks with 31…Re6 32.Rxe6 Qxe6 and reached an easy rook-and-pawn ending.
- Rule of thumb: if you are up a full piece, trade queens or rooks immediately unless it ruins your structure.
5. Clock management
- Your average time spent on the first 10 moves is only 25 seconds. Use the opening “free time” to think ahead 2-3 plies so you don’t get surprised on move 12.
- Consider adding a 2-second increment to blitz sessions; it will reward you for finding accurate defensive moves instead of flagging.
6. Mental routine for resilience
After a blunder you often blitz out 3-4 fast moves and the position collapses. When you spot a mistake:
- Breathe, sit on your hands for 5 seconds.
- Tell yourself: “lose slowly”. Active defence wins you extra half-points every session.
7. Self-study toolbox
- 1100 (2025-02-07) – use this as a benchmark and aim for +50 points in the next month.
- Performance heat-map: (play when you score best!).
- Streak tracker: – note which days you tilt and schedule puzzle-only sessions then.
- Glossary refresh: zwischenzug, tempo, open file.
