Tyler1 is officially a chess god
Tyler1 reached an impressive peak of 1,900 rating on May 6th, streaming his games on a Twitch channel called SpectateTyler1. While he stormed to a 1,400 rating in less than three months, making him better than most chess players, this high Elo puts him in the top 0.5 percent. What’s even more surprising is that it took Tyler1 just 10 months to achieve this feat, stunning viewers and the chess community alike.
