Meet Will Black, a chess player whose rating evolution resembles a thrilling scientific experiment—complete with ups, downs, and an occasional mitotic split between brilliant blitz bursts and rapid-fire bullet battles. Known online as willblack3195, Will’s approach to chess is nothing short of evolutionary biology meets checkmate artistry.
Rating Evolution & Playing Tempo
Having made significant progress from 2021 to 2025, Will’s blitz rating rose from a microscopic 496 to a more developed 788, rapid reaching a cell-dividing 1188 rating. His bullet games, while sometimes prone to cellular mitosis (and occasional rating mutations), show persistence with notable comeback rates and tactical resilience.
Blitz: Peaked at 958 in 2023 before settling into a steady state near 788 in 2025.
Rapid: Demonstrates exponential growth, maxing out at 1188 — quite the Darwinian climb.
Bullet: Short bursts of energy with a max of 1030, though sometimes operating near its refractory period.
Strategic Genes & Opening Repertoire
Will’s opening choices are a genetic tapestry of aggressive and classical moves, showing high survival fitness in variations like the King's Pawn Opening and the Reti Opening. His love for the Three Knights Opening and Philidor Defense reflects a balanced genome of offense and defense, ensuring his opponents often find themselves metabolically exhausted on the chessboard.
Notable Opening Win Rates:
Blitz: King's Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation (~56% win rate) — a well-adapted opening for Will’s blitz protein synthesis.
Bullet: Philidor Defense (~59% win rate) — a clever defense that leaves his bullet opponents with no energy reserves.
Rapid: Reti Opening (over 76% win rate) — a graceful, evolutionary favorite in his rapid gene pool.
Tactical Awareness & Psychological Dynamics
Will’s chess neurons fire with an impressive 100% win rate after losing a piece — talk about recovery mechanisms at their best! His 69.53% comeback rate reveals a player who thrives under pressure, never succumbing easily to the endgame apoptosis. Though his tilt factor is slightly elevated at 9, this only adds to the spice of his competitive genome, making him a dynamic and unpredictable opponent.
Battle-Tested Against Opponents
Will’s record against common opponents is as varied as cell differentiation. Some foes like suff9 and brickzzzzz have been chomped down with a solid 100% defeat rate, while others like fauron30 and dudi_nepelinha remain resistant mutants, keeping Will on his toes.
Playing Rhythm: When to Expect the Best Moves
Like a nocturnal creature of the chess forest, Will shows peak win rates at 12 PM (62.79%) and early evenings like 7 AM (a staggering 58.33%) and 9 AM (66.67%). Conversely, the metabolism slows down around 10 AM, where he experiences a dip in success, a true biological rhythm in play.
In Conclusion
Will Black is the chessboard’s very own evolutionary marvel—fusing strategy, resilience, and a pinch of humor. He bluffs like a clever butterfly, swoops in with knightly precision, and often leaves his opponents stuck in a genetic bottleneck of defeat. When playing with Will, you best be prepared for a cellular storm of cunning moves, timely resignations, and a combat style that’s truly adapted for survival in the wild world of online chess.
