Will

WillieGotSoul: The Chess Virtuoso with a Soul

Meet WillieGotSoul, affectionately known as Will in the chess world—a player whose journey is as colorful as their username suggests. From the humble beginnings of a 183 rating in late 2023, Will has skyrocketed to a Rapid peak of 1132 by May 2025, proving that perseverance, strategy, and maybe a sprinkle of chess magic go a long way.

Rising Through The Ranks

Over the course of thousands of Rapid games, Will has battled fiercely, racking up over a thousand wins with a near even split of losses and draws—like a true warrior who enjoys both the thrill of victory and the lessons of defeat. Their blitz skills are no less impressive, boasting a peak rating of 527 and a solid win rate above 50%.

Signature Openings and Style

Will’s opening repertoire is a fascinating cocktail. The elusive "Top Secret" opening appears to be their go-to move, with nearly two thousand Rapid games played. Other favorites include the Queen’s Pawn Opening — particularly the Chigorin Variation where Will shows tactical grit — and the Caro-Kann Defense, notably the Advance Botvinnik-Carls variation. Let's just say opponents better prepare for a mental marathon when facing these specialty lines.

Playing Style & Psychology

Known for deep, drawn-out matches, Will's games often average over 57 moves when winning, proving stamina is a key asset. Not one to quit early, Will's early resignation rate is a humble 1.45%, favoring battles to the bitter end. Interestingly, their “Comeback Rate” is an incredible 70%, so don't count this resilient chessfighter out just because a piece is lost.

Their psychological resilience is also notable, with a tilt factor score of 8—just enough to remind us all that even the best get salty sometimes, but wisely turn things around by the next game. The best time to challenge Will? Apparently 10 AM, when their brain is freshest and ready to pounce.

Recent Battles

Will’s most recent triumph involved a dazzling checkmate employing the Caro-Kann Defense Advance Botvinnik-Carls Defense. This was a 34-move struggle that ended with Will showing no mercy against varun1234567. On the flip side, a recent loss to angelonet77 showcased that every grandmaster (or soulful soul) now and then meets a worthy nemesis.
