Hours, known to regulars simply as Billie, is a 42-year-old lawyer from the United States whose evenings on Chessiverse have sharpened him into a candidate-master-strength opponent rated 2242. Born into a family of attorneys, he treats the board the way he treats a docket: methodically, with deep preparation and a refusal to concede small concessions. As White he favors the offbeat but venomous [Veresov Attack](/resources/openings/veresov-attack), a system he has played in over three hundred games, while as Black he is equally comfortable answering 1.e4 with the Two Knights or meeting 1.d4 with the Slav and Grünfeld. His calculation is accurate, his opening files are thick, and his fountain pen sits beside the keyboard like a courtroom prop. Opponents should expect long, tension-filled middlegames where every loose pawn becomes evidence used against them.","42","GOAAx","United States","us","f7aa2c480b8ea752deaaf6b01f7c001603e5be93c4852ca46aecbe875fb0b9ac","2026-07-06",2242,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Billie?","Billie is rated 2242, placing him at candidate master to expert strength.
