Will Moorhouse aka GensUnaSumus
National Master Extraordinaire
Meet Will Moorhouse, known in the chess realm as GensUnaSumus, a player who dances across the 64 squares with the finesse only a National Master can boast. With a title earned from National—a badge of honor that not everyone can claim—Will has steadily climbed the ladders of blitz, bullet, rapid, and daily chess competitions.
From relatively modest beginnings in 2021 with blitz ratings hovering around 1700, Will’s determination and resilience (83.16% comeback rate, no less) have propelled him to impressive peaks, achieving a blistering blitz rating of 2702 and bullet rating of 2802 in early 2025. His rapid and daily games also show a tactician’s deep understanding of chess, with peak rapid ratings touching 2430 and a solid daily max of 2000.
This is a player who loves the gritty endgame battles, with a whopping 70.88% frequency of endgame positions, and an average of almost 75 moves per winning game — clearly not one to rush the feast. But don’t be fooled into thinking Will only plays slow and steady; his bullet and blitz stats prove lightning reflexes and nerves of steel.
Psychologically, Will’s tilt factor stands at 36, which means even in moments of pressure, they rarely lose composure for long. With an eye for the clock, their best time to strike is sharp at 8:00 AM (perhaps fueled by a morning coffee or two).
