Eugenia Karas - Woman FIDE Master Extraordinaire

Meet Eugenia Karas, a titled chess player lighting up the global arena with the prestigious Woman FIDE Master (WFM) title. Known in the online chess circles as nagsark, Eugenia blends deep strategic prowess with a dash of cheeky fighting spirit—after all, with a longest winning streak of 5 and a comeback rate close to 88%, giving up is just not in the vocabulary.

Chess Rating & Style

Climbing steadily through the ranks, Eugenia recently hit a blistering peak blitz rating of 2466 as of May 2025—a rating that spells serious business. In rapid chess, she has maintained a strong presence hovering around 2120+. What's striking is her penchant for deep, thinky games, boasting an average of over 80 moves per win. If slow and steady wins the race, Eugenia definitely wins marathons. She doesn’t quit early, never resigning prematurely, and loves the thrill of complex endgames, appearing in nearly 90% of her games.

Playing Tendencies & Tactical Awareness

With a remarkable 87.67% comeback rate, Eugenia can claw her way out of seemingly dire situations like a chess ninja. Even after losing a piece, her win rate of 33.5% shows she's no pushover. She’s equally comfortable wielding White or Black pieces, holding a slightly better win record as White (39.25%) than Black (32.29%), which shows flexibility and adaptability.

Opening Repertoire Highlights

Eugenia enjoys experimenting but clearly favors some smart tactical weaponry. Her favorite blitz opening is the Reti Opening Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack, boasting a solid 57.14% win rate there. She also commands the Indian Game East Indian Przepiorka Variation with a perfect 100% win rate in her singular battle tested game. She’s no stranger to mainstream defenses either, although some lines like the Queen’s Indian Defense haven't been her friends recently. The "Top Secret" opening record—likely a playful nod to a mix of lesser-known or surprise lines—shows a gritty 37.2% success over a hefty 164 games.

Psychological Chess & Competition Rhythm

Eugenia’s optimal chess brain kicks into gear around 2 PM (14:00), where she achieves a perfect win rate in the few recorded games—a champion’s secret hour! Mondays are her lucky days with an impressive 80% win rate, shedding the weekday blues better than most.
