Famous for his League of Legends streams, Tyler1 is now among the top 0.5 percent of Rapid chess players in under a year of taking up the game.
Tyler1 reached an impressive peak of 1,900 rating on May 6, streaming his games on a Twitch channel called SpectateTyler1. While he stormed to 1,400 rating in less than three months, making him better than most chess players, this high Elo ranks him in the top 0.5 percent. What’s more surprising is that it only took Tyler1 10 months to achieve this feat, stunning viewers and the chess community alike.
