Back in March, the streamer crossed the 1700 ELO mark after originally starting at a brutal 199 rating just a few months prior.
April saw the streamer win one of his most challenging games yet being matched against a 2153-rated player, but in a surprising upset, hepicked up the winwith the white pieces.
What makes his chess growth even more impressive is that he plays while waiting in queue for LoL matches, effectively making chess secondary to the MOBA.
It’s anyone’s guess when or if Tyler1 will peak, but for now, the sky remains the limit as he continues to climb inchessELO, stunning even the biggest of chess creators with his results.
