What?

not many people will understand the gravity of what Tyler has accomplished in league. Especially because his success in league utilizes a very macro-oriented, pattern recognizing playstyle. He's made for chess. When Tyler looks at a frame of league he intuitively understands where each player is, where the value is, what everyone's win condition is and makes the right move accordingly. He did this for all 5 roles of the game. He didn't succeed because he's just mechanically gifted on a strong champion and downing Adderalls. He wins with the same tools that you win with chess. He's also an addict.

@redridingcape

6 ай бұрын

Not only that, but he's able and willing to put in enough time to succeed. That's actually one of the hardest things to do when learning something new.

I've watched tyler for a while. Dude is a force of nature. If the dude decides he wants to be good at something he will eventually get it. Even if it takes thousands and thousands of hours.

Imagine if Tyler got in to chess at like 8 years old,he would transcende stockfish, torch and even beat Spock from Star trek, he would the best chess player in existence. Easy 5000 elo. Thank god he only started now.

Good on ya for getting stuck in with boxing. Your vids and the banter always remind me of the fight announcers of old... good times that. Great to hear the same energy applied to the game of chess!

For context, 40-50 chess games will run you about 6.5-8.5 hours a day of constant chess usually. Given, that’s approximating that a rapid game last 10 minutes. It could be as high as 13-17 hours per day if every game goes the full duration. That’s borderline ever waking moment of your day playing chess. The sheer dedication this man has is awe inspiring.

I love how he starts his games losing but then turn them around. It's like he's teasing his opponents.

I've never heard of this guy, but i'm happy he's finding some joy in chess. This is what it does to us that crave mental interactions such as chess, at first it's like "ehh chess", then you actually start learning, and you're like "oh.. snap, i'm a baby in this", then you engage it harder and you get addicted and others are like "it's just chess".. nope.. it's not. it's tactics, it's position, it's pushing your brain to see things that aren't there yet. it's a damn war.
