Julio Nascimento Dias (Dimmechek)

Meet Julio Nascimento Dias, better known in the chess world by his enigmatic handle Dimmechek. A strategist who’s been mastering the game with a mixture of grit, humor, and just a dash of chaos. If chess were a circus, Julio would be the juggler who occasionally drops a ball — but hey, it’s all part of the act!

Rating Journey & Style

Julio’s chess ratings dance between a respectable 400 and an admirable peak of 632 in Rapid, achieved with a flair in May 2023. He’s no stranger to variety, engaging fiercely across Rapid, Blitz, Bullet, and even the legendary Daily games. While his Rapid games have been the bread and butter — with over 1,350 wins — every mode tells its own story.

Ever the fighter, Julio tends to shrug off early setbacks — boasting a runner-up comeback rate of nearly 78.5%. Losses? Sure, they exist, but with a tilt factor of 27, he knows how to keep his cool, even when the board is less than forgiving.

Opening Moves & Favorite Battles

His repertoire is eclectic. The Alekhine’s Defense is his hidden gem with a winning rate above 50%, and the Van t Kruijs Opening is his trusty companion, despite a modest 46.8% win rate in Rapid. For those who enjoy a wild ride, Julio’s games can swing widely — much like his love-hate relationship with the Philidor Defense, which has tested him more than he’s conquered.

The Human Behind the Pieces

Games with Julio are never boring. His longest winning streak is a commendable 13 — showing he can keep the momentum — but be warned: his longest losing streak can stretch to 27, revealing a rollercoaster temperament that makes every match an adventure. Whether it's early resignation (a humble 3.4%) or deep, drawn-out endgames, Julio savors every twist and turn the game throws his way.

And for those wondering, his best chess hour is 8 AM, so perhaps his coffee is more potent than yours!

Latest Triumph

His most recent victory was a swift and ruthless checkmate against fajarramadani, showcasing his knack for turning apparently quiet positions into fatal traps. This particular game featured a daring Grob Opening and ended in Julio’s favor by checkmate — a reminder that with him, surprises lurk everywhere.

Summary

Julio Nascimento Dias embodies the spirit of a passionate chess battler who’s as comfortable in tactical skirmishes as in maneuvering endgame pawns. Soft-spoken but sharp-minded, he’s a reminder that chess isn’t just about ratings and wins — it’s about the journey, the fun, and sometimes the amusing blunders along the way.
