Is "вы" always capitalized in writing when you are addressing only a single person?  Or is this optional and you can leave it uncapitalized? Also, what about other forms of the word, such as

вас / вами /вам...

I assume they are also capitalized just as "вы" is?

What about the "вы"-based adjectives : ваш / ваши / ваша / ваше?

Thanks!

I have checked it. Chekhov, Brodsky, Blok. I am really surprised!!! You are right! Perhaps as early as in the school this idea was suggested to me. It was strange sometimes. In 3rd class we should write "Родина", but in 4th - "родина".
