Well -- he’s done it again. Tyler1 reached the top 0.5% of rapid chess players on chess.com this week with a rating of over 1900 ELO.

When you translate that into an official FIDE rating – Tyler might be slowly approaching the level of a Chess Master – less than a year after he first started playing.

Even doubters like Hikaru are acknowledging that Tyler may be part of a transformation of this 1500 year old game that nobody could have predicted…

    T1 would be a top tier athlete on chess boxing
  • @BobJones-vj3tc
    Getting Hikaru to say he was wrong is like trying to find alien life
  • @shauny5015
    You gotta respect the fact that Tyler say, Tyler do.
  • @shojulee
    Tyler is literally “don’t give up” human.
  • Tyler using the cow opening to get a 2000 elo is like Takumi using a Corolla to beat 400+ HP cars at uphill. I loved it.
  • @primary2630
    Man Hikaru is coping so hard that T1 has gotten this good this fast
  • @Calvin-lu7td
    If Tyler picked up figure skating, guarantee you he’ll master the triple axel in 6 months
  • @ooczzy
    In league terms, he's very quickly reaching grandmaster rank despite starting the game for less than a year, using only teemo top lane thats usually used in silver but not in high elo games

    Football jock walks into the chess club, beats everyone, tells them chess is easy and they suck at it, and walks out of the room.
  • @GregariousOp
    The fact Tyler refined this one specific opening strategy so many times that it literally broke the system speaks volumes to his dedication, determination and willingness to push forward in whatever he sets his mind to. Tyler is human indomitable will personified.
  • It was funny to see people doubting Tyler again... Over 7 years ive been watching him, it happened so many times and it literally fuels him. And also if anyone think he gonna stop at 2k you are delusional he gonna keep going.
  • @Wardenaz
    Snipers malding they can't snipe him 😢
  • Hikaru once again sounds like a big hater. Even if what he's saying about the improvement tools in the modern age is true, it's funny that only now he mentions it after Tyler proves him wrong. 1900 is still higher than most people will ever get.

    pov: that one friend who is somehow good at any game they play

    He's a grinder. Can't stop something that doesn't stop.
