Aleksandra Dimitrijevic (aka lexiel)
Woman Grandmaster
Aleksandra Dimitrijevic, a formidable Woman Grandmaster titled by FIDE, is a chess player whose moves are as sharp and precise as her wit. Known in the chess universe by her username lexiel, she has demonstrated remarkable talent across all time controls: rapid, blitz, bullet, and daily.
With a career peppered with both blistering wins and hard-fought battles, Aleksandra’s peak ratings stand impressively at 2413 in rapid chess, 2347 in bullet, a blazing 2428 in blitz, and a grand 2423 in daily format. Her games reveal a player who balances tactical sharpness with psychological grit—boasting a comeback rate over 78%, and a win rate of about 58% as White and Black alike.
But beware! This chess maestro has an infamous tilt factor set at a perfect 100 — a sign that losing is as rare and unpleasant for her as finding a missing sock after laundry. Nevertheless, her ability to recover swiftly ensures she keeps the game exciting and unpredictable.
Style & Tactics
- Endgame Connoisseur: Aleksandra’s endgames make up over 63% of her play, proving she loves the long strategic battles as much as the flash of an early checkmate.
- Opening Innovator: Dominating with openings like the Ruy Lopez and the Queen’s Pawn, and even an occasional unknown gambit, she keeps opponents guessing.
- Streaks: A fierce competitor, Aleksandra once racked up a jaw-dropping 43-game winning streak – long enough to make anyone wonder if she was secretly playing against a chess computer!
Recent Chess Highlights
Most recently, Aleksandra delivered a swift and beautiful checkmate in a Reti Opening game, culminating in a queen promotion and a checkmate that left her opponent speechless. Yet, even the mighty face setbacks—for instance, a recent loss in a sharp Sicilian Defense game which reminds us all that even grandmasters have off days.
Aleksandra Off the Board
Away from the 64 squares, Aleksandra is as strategic and precise as on the board, but with a dash of humor and a spark of unpredictability that make her a cherished presence in the chess community. Whether blitzing through bullet games at lightning speed or pondering the perfect move in daily chess, she embodies the spirit of chess: endless challenge, endless passion, and sometimes endless coffee breaks.
