Aleksandra Dimitrova (Dimsasha)
Woman International Master
Meet Aleksandra Dimitrova, also known in the chess cosmos as Dimsasha, a Woman International Master with a flair for turning the board into a battlefield where strategy and wit collide. Whether blitzing or battling in rapid games, Aleksandra has shown resilience, tactical awareness, and a streak of brilliance that keeps her opponents on their toes.
With a peak rapid rating of 2260 achieved back in March 2020 and a blistering blitz max rating of 2432 in early 2021, Dimsasha knows how to shake up the clock and put pressure on the enemy lines. Even her daily rating of 1600 doesn’t tell the full story—after all, every grandmaster was once a beginner losing pawns (and maybe their minds) in casual games.
Playing Style & Stats in a Nutshell
- Rapid: Played few but mighty — undefeated with 2 wins, 1 draw; a solid 66.7% win rate deploying "Top Secret" openings.
- Blitz: A rollercoaster ride of thrills — 7 wins, 7 losses, and 2 draws over 16 “Top Secret” opening battles, showcasing a daring approach with a near even split of fate.
- Daily Chess: Tough week — faced a 7-game losing streak, but hey, even Magnus had off days!
Aleksandra’s games are a chess cocktail mixing long endgames (average 70 moves to victory) with early resignations sometimes thrown in for psychological spice (a cheeky 50% early resignation rate). She shines most when playing with the clock ticking (mostly mornings around 10 AM), proving that she’s a true daylight strategist.
Opponent Showdowns
Dimsasha’s arch-rival is vlad_sid, having clashed 13 times with a respectable 31% win rate against this worthy adversary. She's also undefeated against several opponents like revsc228, alevtinaizimetova, and ruslannurmamedov, proving her ability to learn and adapt.
Memorable Victories
Her recent triumph against Anatries in a rapid game was decided on time—a testament to her relentless pressure and clock management. She breathed life into every move of the Indian Game Knights Variation, making the final moments a nail-biter as she distanced herself from the enemy with both nerves and skill.
Chess Personality Snapshot
Aleksandra combines a tendency to bounce back from losing material with a dramatic flair: a 90% comeback rate means she’s the queen of turning tables. However, the current 7-game losing streak in daily chess reminds us even masters can hit the chess blues. But beware—her tilt factor is a low 7 out of 10, meaning she’ll probably bounce right back with a vengeance.
Whether crushing opponents with checkmates (5 recorded wins by mate) or opting for the elegant resignation route (7 losses by resignation), Dimsasha keeps her audience guessing. Her games might inspire you to grab your pieces and challenge the board — or at least cheer loudly from the sidelines.
In short, Aleksandra Dimitrova is a chess player who marches to the beat of her own rook, blending calculated strategy, tactical surprises, and a dash of mystery known only as the "Top Secret" openings. So, if you see Dimsasha on the board, prepare for a battle as entertaining as it is challenging!
