Profile Summary: dimitri_ham

Meet dimitri_ham, a rapid chess enthusiast currently cruising around a 680+ rating in 2025. Known for his aggressive approach to the board, Dimitri plays like someone who woke up late but still remembers the queen's birthday. His rapid games tell a tale of perseverance and strategic flair, boasting a strong 62% win rate over 78 rapid games, with 49 wins to just 29 losses – and zero draws, because who stops when victory smells sweet?

When it comes to openings, Dimitri is a connoisseur of the Queen’s Pawn Opening, claiming a staggering 85.7% win rate in it. He fights like a true Frenchman in his French Defense Normal Variation, winning every single game there. Not too shabby for someone who also enjoys the occasional Scandinavian Defense – even if it doesn’t always pay off (we see your 33%). His games as Black are even stronger, with a nearly 70% win rate, clearly showing he’s comfortable playing the dark side.

On the tactical front, Dimitri is a comeback king! With a comeback rate exceeding 73%, losing a piece isn’t a signal to give up, but rather a call to raise the intensity. He’s rarely flustered, maintaining a low tilt factor of 4 (chess tantrums not included). He prefers to play in the evening hours—19:00 has proven to be his peak time, where his winning rate hits a flawless 100%. Maybe it’s the dinner brain boost, or just the right amount of caffeine.

His longest winning streak? A fierce 7 games, showing he can steamroll opponents when he’s in the zone. However, even a titan like Dimitri suffers some blows — his longest losing streak stands at 4, and currently, he’s got a tiny losing streak of 1. But hey, even the best occasionally meet their match (just look at his rivalry with “fvilleminot”, where his win rate sadly dips to zero).

Dimitri’s fearless insistence on decisive games means very few drawn battles—he either wins or learns, and sometimes learns again. Most of his victories come from sharp checkmates and timely resignations by opponents who realize they’re caught in a web. His average win lasts about 47 moves, which means patience is a virtue and so is endurance.

In bullet chess, the speedier sibling of the game, Dimitri is still warming up with just 1 game played and a rating of 438 — so the keyboard smashing might still be in training.

With opponents like “alperal” and “krdeka” falling to his well-honed strategy 100% of the time, Dimitri’s making waves on Chess.com. When he isn’t busy dazzling opponents or perfecting his French Defense, you might find him crafting his next unlikely comeback or experimenting with new opening variations just to keep everyone guessing.

Fun fact: Dimitri's most dramatic recent victory was a lightning-quick checkmate against "krdeka" in a King's Pawn opening – talk about making a statement!
