Victoria "Vicy" Kaslan - Woman Candidate Master
Meet Victoria Kaslan, affectionately known in the chess world as Vicy, a player whose chessboard antics are as sharp as her sense of humor! Awarded the prestigious title of Woman Candidate Master by FIDE, Vicy has proven that rookies beware, this contender knows her way around the board better than most grandmasters know their next move.
Starting her rapid career in 2020 with a modest 1508 rating, Vicy's trajectory has been anything but ordinary. By April 2023, she blitzed her way up to a peak rapid rating of 1883 – a feat many aspire to but few achieve. Her blitz and bullet adventures are no less impressive, peaking at 1725 and 1774 respectively, showcasing her versatility across all time controls.
Known for an endgame frequency of over 74%, Vicy doesn’t just play until the end – she aims to finish strong. Her longest recorded winning streak is a staggering 11 games, proving she can be as relentless as a queen on a mission. However, like any hero's journey, she’s encountered her share of setbacks, including a humbling longest losing streak of 12. But as chess aficionados say, every loss is just a setup for a glorious comeback — and Vicy’s comeback rate of nearly 78% speaks volumes.
Vicy's style? A tactical blend packed with resilience and psychological warfare. She once held a 100% win record against a roster of opponents including dansappy and hoaianhxh, and apparently possesses a unique ability to wreck plans at the most unexpected hours – her best playtime includes some pretty unconventional windows like 3 AM and 11 AM, when most of us are not even at the board!
Her favorite playing days are Thursdays, clocking a win rate of over 58%, while Fridays might be a good day for her to binge-watch chess tutorials instead of battling. Her early resignation rate is impressively low, showing she is not one to throw in the towel without a good fight. And speaking of fights, the queen has often used “unknown openings” to great effect, boasting a rapid win rate of 70% from these mysterious gambits.

In summary: Vicy is a fearless chess warrior with a penchant for both grinding through long endgames and springing tactical surprises at lightning speed. Whether it's rapid, blitz, bullet, or daily games, she plays with panache, a pinch of irreverence, and a whole lot of heart.
