Vega
A bright spark with big plans and no patience for draws.

Who is Vega?
Vega fell from the summer sky as a spark and cooled into a flame of glass that never quite went out. It decided a chessboard was the most exciting place it had ever landed. It plays the King’s Gambit, giving away a pawn on move two just to see what happens. Most of its sacrifices work. The ones that don’t make for very short, very bright games.
How does Vega play?
Sharp and direct. Goes for the king, sacrifices for the initiative, can overreach.
Quirks
- Counts its sacrifices like trophies.
- Says “ooh” right before something reckless.
- Pretends draws never happened.
