Will Taylor

Will Taylor Chess is a YouTube channel built around one idea: brutal, beautiful attacking chess. Inspired by the Romantic era masters like Paul Morphy and La Bourdonnais, Will Taylor plays the kind of chess that prioritizes not just winning, but winning with style. If you like sacrifices, king hunts, and games that end in spectacular fashion, this is the channel for you.

Will Taylor is a young English chess player, born in 2003, who plays actively on Lichess under the handle willtaylorchess. He has logged over 15,000 games on the platform since joining in March 2022, with ratings around 2347 in bullet, 2297 in rapid, and 2216 in blitz. He is also registered with FIDE under the English federation. On his Patreon, he offers weekly bonus videos and a full back catalogue of exclusive content for supporters.

The channel has carved out a clear niche in the increasingly crowded chess content space. Rather than chasing trends or doing generic educational content, Will Taylor leans into a specific identity: aggressive, sacrificial chess with high energy. He is active across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and his personal website at willtaylorchess.com, building a multi-platform presence around the brand.
