Julie THEVENOT - The Relentless Chess Warrior

Julie THEVENOT, known in the chess realm by the enigmatic username daquxxn, is a player whose journey could best be described as a rollercoaster ride filled with strategic brilliance, a dash of tough lessons, and a sprinkle of comedic perseverance.

Rating & Style

Julie reached her rapid peak rating of 1264 in early 2021, a shining moment showcasing her tactical prowess. Though ratings have fluctuated since, her blitz peak of 765 in 2025 proves she's no stranger to swift and fierce battles on the board. Her daily chess rating once hit 1118, reminding us she’s equally comfortable in longer, thoughtful encounters.

Her playing style? A healthy respect for endgames (appearing in over half her games), occasional early resignations (nobody’s perfect), and an impressive comeback rate of over 76% — which means if she’s down a piece, don’t count her out yet! Perhaps Julie’s ultimate weapon is her psychological resilience, bouncing back with a tilt factor of only 13 and finding her best game starts bright and early at 6 AM. Morning coffee plus chess genius?

Opening Repertoire

Julie favors classical lines but isn't afraid to mix it up. With solid success in the Three Knights Opening and the King's Pawn Opening - King's Knight Variation (winning two-thirds of the time in rapid games), she often keeps opponents on their toes. However, let's just say the Italian Game Knight Attack hasn’t been her best friend — a zero win rate is a tough pill to swallow, but every great player has their kryptonite.

Competitive Overview

Across time modes, Julie has a combined tally of:

• Rapid: 103 wins, 128 losses, 6 draws
• Blitz: 244 wins, 238 losses, 25 draws
• Daily: 5 wins, 19 losses — patience is indeed a virtue, and sometimes a challenge!

Julie’s longest winning streak? A commendable 8 games. Her longest losing streak, though, was a humbling 13 games — but hey, every storm leads to a clearer sky and smarter strategies.

Recent Highlights

In a recent rapid clash against Ruslanas78, Julie demonstrated her tactical sharpness and endurance by securing a well-earned victory on time after a fierce 47-move contest full of dynamic play and clever positional maneuvers. Not to mention a swift checkmate gaming the Scandinavian Defense against Paddy_K — proving she can seal the deal with style.

Personality & Fun Facts

A tactical dynamo with the persistence of a battery-operated knight, Julie’s never short on determination or passion. She’s a chess player who embraces losses just as much as victories — because every blunder is just an opportunity for a spectacular comeback (and maybe a funny tale for the chess club!).

Whether she’s locking horns in rapid battles or slowly plotting her moves in daily games, Julie reminds us all that chess is a marathon filled with knights, spiked pawns, and lots of coffee.
