Thus an inequality in one direction. For the converse, let $n \geq 0$
and suppose that $\dim(X) \geq n$. Then we can find a chain of irreducible
closed subsets $Z_0 \subset Z_1 \subset \ldots \subset Z_n \subset X$.
Pick $x \in Z_0$. Then we see that every open neighbourhood $U$ of $x$
has a chain of irreducible closed subsets
$Z_0 \cap U \subset Z_1 \cap U \subset \ldots Z_n \cap U \subset U$.
Pick $x \in Z_0$. For every open neighbourhood $U$ of $x$ we get
a chain of irreducible closed subsets
$$
Z_0 \cap U \subset Z_1 \cap U \subset \ldots \subset Z_n \cap U
$$
in $U$. Namely, the sets $U \cap Z_i$ are irreducible closed in $U$ and the
inclusions are strict (details omitted; hint: the closure of $U \cap Z_i$
is $Z_i$).
In this way we see that $\dim_x(X) \geq n$ which proves the other
inequality.
\end{proof}
