Write the dense space X as ⋂n​Gn​ in compact Hausdorff K. Every Gn​ is dense and open. A dense open subset Un​ of X has the form X∩On​ with On​ dense and open in K. The compact Baire category theorem makes ⋂n​(Gn​∩On​)=⋂n​Un​ dense in K, hence in X. Therefore every Čech-complete space is a Baire space. The rationals are not a Baire space, as deleting their points one at a time gives dense open sets with empty intersection.
