Since 2021, Willy has navigated the Rapid, Blitz, and Bullet formats like a chessboard biologist studying the survival of the fittest moves. His Rapid peak once hit 1068, though recent 2024 performance is showing signs of growth, reaching a respectable 652 rating, proving that evolution never stops.

When it comes to psychological stamina, Willy keeps his tilt factor low at 8, indicating that even when under pressure, he remains as cool-headed as a deep-sea anglerfish luring prey in the darkest water.

Off the board, Willy enjoys facing a diverse ecosystem of opponents, with some like nicolasmartua proving more "flammable" (75% win rate), while others like magnumcarlton7 remain a challenging thorn in the side (0% win rate). This variety keeps Willy's strategic DNA constantly evolving.
