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.
