CESAR AMADOR LIRA

Profile Summary: CESAR AMADOR LIRA (Dment17)

Meet Cesar Amador Lira, known in the chess world as Dment17, a tenacious blitz and rapid player with a flair for thrilling comebacks and a taste for tactical skirmishes. Starting at a modest blitz rating of 100 in late 2023, Cesar quickly climbed the ranks, peaking impressively at a blitz rating of 610 in mid-2024. His bullet and rapid play also boast competitive performances, with peak ratings of 561 and a sizzling 1422 respectively.

Cesar’s chess journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster with epic winning streaks, including an impressive 18-game victory run, balanced out by a few tough moments – hey, even grandmasters have their “oops” games! With 413 blitz wins and over 500 rapid victories under his belt, his experience and resilience speak volumes. He’s not afraid to dance on the edge: a 78% comeback rate and a clever 42% win rate after losing a piece show a player who never gives up, even when the chips are down.

When it comes to openings, Cesar shows eclectic taste and sharp preparation. He loves challenging his opponents with the Scandinavian Defense, where he shines bright with a 65% win rate in blitz, and the Queens Gambit Accepted's Old Variation, both a source of many hard-fought battles. In bullet, his weapon of choice sometimes shifts to the Vienna Game or the Kings Pawn Opening, playing quick and sharp. A bit of a specialist? Maybe. Always ready? Definitely.

And about his style: Cesar's games tend to be strategic marathons – he toys with an average of 52 moves per win, savoring every tactical twist. He's got a strong endgame presence, showing patience and precision when the battlefield narrows. But don’t expect him to quit early – his early resignation rate is a mere 4.3%, meaning he fights tooth and nail until the bitter end (or until the coffee runs out).

Psychologically, Cesar is a fortress, with a low tilt factor and a strong “best time of day” to conquer the board around 9 AM. Maybe he’s more of a morning warrior! And if you want to get his goat, you’d better watch out for his “Rated vs Casual” win difference: a staggering 46%! When the pressure’s on, Cesar shines brightest.

Recent bouts have been a mixed bag with close calls: a stunning checkmate victory against pahel73, demonstrating Cesar’s sharp eye and killer instincts, but a tough timed loss to gigidloki reminding all that chess is a game of nerves and clocks. Whether he’s crushing opponents with the Queens Gambit or battling intense blitz duels, one thing’s certain – Cesar Amador Lira doesn’t just play chess, he lives it with passion, perseverance, and a dash of chessboard chaos.

Watch out world, Dment17 is here, armed with pawns and a ferocious will to win!
