FIDE Master Dexter Docampo (elpayasodios)

Meet Dexter Docampo, also known in the chess realms as elpayasodios — a FIDE Master who approaches the 64 squares with the passion of a grandmaster and the humor of a casual coffee shop strategist.

Dexter’s chess journey has been a rollercoaster of brilliance, patience, and the occasional panic-induced blunder. Reaching a peak daily rating of 1912 in late 2022, Dexter has shown formidable skill across formats. In blitz, he’s lightning-fast with a peak of 2644, and in bullet, an impressive 2550 peak speaks to his quick tactical awareness — enough to make even the nimblest opponents sweat.

With more games won than lost overall — boasting 145 wins in blitz and an undefeated early 2021 daily streak of 5-0 — Dexter’s competitive spirit is clearly alive and kicking. His longest winning streak impressively stretched to 28 victories, proving that sometimes, momentum can feel as unstoppable as a rook on an open file.

Dexter isn’t just here to play; he’s known for his resilience, with an outstanding 80.95% comeback rate after hitting tough spots, and an admirable 48.4% win rate even after losing a piece. Basically, if chess games were Hollywood movies, Dexter’s would be full of thrilling plot twists and last-minute triumphs.

His strategic playstyle favors a long, thoughtful game — averaging about 77 moves per win — which means he’s happy to outlast opponents in a marathon endgame rather than a quick sprint. It probably explains the 83.43% endgame frequency in his games. Dexter enjoys the grind, the drama, and of course, the eventual sweet taste of victory.

Opening Secrets? Shhh…

While Dexter keeps his daily and blitz openings intriguingly secret (a.k.a. "Top Secret"), this mysterious approach has netted him a solid 57.14% win rate in daily games and a respectable 52.54% in blitz, proving that sometimes, mystery is the best weapon on the board.

Recent Memorable Battles

• A thrilling daily victory against “playcalm” in a Pirc Defense battle, sealed by a gritty resignation after a complex midgame struggle.
• A blitz win over “truki” by victory on time — proving Dexter’s speed is more than just a rumor.
• And a stubborn loss on time to “Sapochi” that reminds us even the best have their “oh snap” moments.

Off the clock, Dexter’s known for balancing chess precision with a fun, laidback vibe — a reminder that while chess is serious business, enjoying the game is just as important.

So if you ever face elpayasodios across the board, prepare for a mix of steely determination, crafty tactics, and maybe a laugh or two — because Dexter Docampo is here to challenge your mind and brighten your day.
