The year is 2025, it's the World Chess Championship Finals. Magnus Carlesen walks up to the board, hair combed to perfection and suit nary a wrinkle. From the opposing side, Tyler1. Basketball shorts, tank top, and large headband wrapped around his head. Sweating not from anxiety, but from his usual pre-chess workout.
@@voinoldungr513. It might be okei under prac but you still loose a lot of consentration. Staing Calm is one of the best things even tho you have a much more insane reaction while blood pumping. You will make stupid mistakes becouse of it too. The koffein is ok but can be a pluss if you tired but can also make you play faster and worse and you can Shake if not used to it. Defently not for everyone. And dont use it in general unless you really tired before training. If you already ready for training its not even worth it. Those extra energi you get can you just get without through other means wich are safer and better for you.
@@dc-vw4qm Does 10 000 openings really even exist at chess, when a lot of them would be dogshite openings, that leave you in unfavorable position, so its not worth to even play thoese openings.
People who are above average in intelligence are sometimes toxic because their minds are restless, it's chaotic, tyler1 just found the key to turn that chaos in order
@@christofferore6285"idc what anyone says I see the truth". I am strongly convinced that you have not enlightened anybody with your sense of "wisdom".
@@christofferore6285 Going from 0 experience in something as hard as chess and getting to 1900 in just 10 months is insanity, and is nor normal under any circumstance, please stop undermining peoples achievements just because you have noone to speak of yourself edit: from 0 to 1900 in 10 months might be less impressive if he had trainers or something, but this dude just went in and self improved every match
@@n4n4sh1_ i mean yeah but we'll have to see, in his streams he said he'll be content with reaching 2k, perhaps he'll still play chess but not at this intensity
Imagine thinking because some lame plays and get's decent at 1 video game from playing it for thousands of hours that some how makes him "gifted". The delusions of these terminally online Ioser narcissists is unreal.
as bruce lee said "i am not scared of a man who knows a thousand techniquies" "i am scared of a man who knows 1 technique and he practiced it a thousand times" literally tyler right now
@@slappychan5332 he did though, the actual quote is "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." - Bruce Lee
Should be "I am not afraid of a man who has practiced thousands of techniques once, but I fear a man of has practice one technique who has practiced it a thousand times." The first part of the quote is basically the same as "jack of all trades, master of none" and the second part is "one tricking".
A league player using his approach on chess and becoming really good is the equivalent of a speedrunner using his perfectionism to become good at piano.
Tyler is just different. He presents himself like a meathead who struggles to deal with his emotions, but then you see him petting his cat, loving his family, and smashing the haters by becoming one of the greatest Chess players. Truly a man among men.
He's different from some streamers who act like nice people but are actually huge jerks, he acts like a jerk but is actually super friendly. ALSO THESE BOTS ARE SERIOUSLY RUFFLING MY TAIL FEATHERS 💀
Yea, but early on I think it wasn't much of a persona. After the multiple bans and his reform I think he actually did change, but keeps the persona around cause it's fun and popular.@@wax_axiom479
I bet what motivated him was Daniel Rensch saying he was more likely to beat Tyler1 at League then Tyler1 was likely to beat him in chess during PogChamps

I love these experiences about finding out that a youtuber/streamer/pronstar/celebrity is randomly extremely talented at someone totally unrelated to what theyre known to do for a living. It's like south park levels of surreal, and i'm here for it.
@@TheDinis553 Ironic when you think about where he's coming from. When he started streaming he was regularly banned in LoL for being so damn toxic. His rages on stream were maybe a bit over the top for entertainment purposes, but he was raging for real.
Dude I had a friend back then who was just like that. He mastered literally Anything and everything that he started. Whether it was CoD, Skateboarding, Blading, Rubix cubes, Soccer or Hockey he became the best in the whole area. Some people literally have GOD's bless!

@@Bfkcjscbsnjc Imagine though that "Some lame" does a thing and it;s still more notable then the sum of your entire life. Doesn't it suck to be a loser on the comments just jealous of even the most minor achievments of others. Must suck to be you kiddo.
I thought that this video was gonna be another RU-vidr's sad drama,but i was really surprised it turned out wholesome and heartwarming, wishing all the best to that guy in all of his endeavors😄
Unironically one of the more powerful abilities humans have that sets them apart. If a person has the strength of Will to grind away after awhile most people get good at that task.
@@cgarcia4487 nah more often than not people plateau and stop gaining skill the interesting part is that tyler1 never really stopped growing. i guess it goes to show that despite the dent in his forehead he still has a massive capacity for learning and applying himself to things
I'm an Overwatch player and never played or cared about LoL so I never heard of him until a year or so ago he randomly started showing up in clips cause he started trying to grind OW. He's way too high strung for me, but there's no denying his talents. Pretty inspirational. He's the literal definition of "You can accomplish anything you want if you put your mind to it."
Literally Hikaru described Tyler1 as a "Masochist" , just grinding and grinding chess games at your plateau "usually" never works.. but this man.. THIS MAN... is insane.
I’m a huge T1 supporter. Also a chess player. Tactics puzzles are pretty easy after you’ve done 30-40 of them. They’re typically the same tactics just flipped around a little bit. This is to teach you the pattern no matter the game state.
@@Marky-Mark1337 SsethTzeentach said it - in the absence of passion, vitriol is an entirely viable substitute. And as someone who's played League, WoW and Warframe a lot, I can confidently say it's absolutely true.
Another thing to consider is that he's also a gymrat AND he was doing pool cleaning at a professional level just for fun. He was researching how to clean pools with all the different types of cleaning solutions and chemicals. Even reading up on how the most common built-in pool filtration systems work. The whole process and every step of the way. He somehow just finds the next problem and solves it. I mean if you can solo queue in league and consistently get those achievements he has then you can pretty much do anything that a single person can accomplish.
I knew a guy like this. He was disgustingly good at picking up new skills. I watched this man lean to contact juggle over the course of two days and was matching what people who were doing for years could do. It's crazy.
@@Bibitybopitybaconlots of generalist knowledge comes together and makes it very easy to learn “new things” based off similarities / look and do learning.
You forgot to mention that he also excelled at weightlifting. Dude has some legitimately elite level numbers on his lifts. Everything he touches turns to gold.

“Once you know the way broadly, you can see it in all things.” -Miyamoto Musashi This guy understands what it takes to be good at something. And he applies it where he wants.
The fact Tyler1 had the time to become a Father while grinding League for 19 hours a day and then Chess for another 5 hours a day really goes to show he's just different.
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." - Bruce Lee Tyler is absolutely shredding with that one opening xD
T1 is actually crazy. He's addicted to league but not only manages to be good at every role, HE'S FIT. The time management of T1 it's legendary. He streams for HOURS but manages to do all of this stuff! T1 is one of the most impressive anomalies ever!
I mean when you think about it working out really only takes a few hours per day so when all you do is stream you still have like 13 hours to play league
@@nickotine8961working out also helps you perform better at these activities. a lot of pro players work out regularly. (not all, some are just talented asf)
The one thing I truly admire on Tyler 1 is his determination. If he puts his mind to something he just buldozes right to it, no stoping, no wavering. Just pushes thru. I truly wish I had that quality.
Then do it right now, I'm also a lazy bum but when I start doing something what I want, I never stop until I reach that goal, all it takes is for me to start doing it.
And thats the thing.Most of us begin to doubt ourselves whenever we set out to do something. Thats a huge reason why majority of people fail. We just dont start
Its a good lesson for people that overthink stuff. So often you see someone trying to create the "perfect workout" or spending all day watching tutorials and reading theory about the things they wanna get good at instead of actually grinding.
wouldn't ADHD be the opposite of what he's doing? ADHD is the inability to stay focused while Tyler been grinding one of the most boring games for 10 months straight. I don't think people with ADHD can do that
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." -Bruce Lee Apparently, also works for chess strategies.
Its not really surprising. I dont like League personally but it seems very strategy oriented. Id like to see someone like a 2k hour Atilla Total War player jump into chess. Ultimately they already mastered what chess is designed to help you master so it seems like theyd just own.
T1 reminds me of the chess hustlers you see around at the local parks. They too have brute forced their way into becoming good by just playing insane amounts of games. My prediction is he will reach 2k+ and stay in between that 2k - 2.1k-ish rating. Which is where upper echelon of chess hustlers peak at.
Tyler playing league to such a degree has got to be the sole reason why chess is so easy for him to pick up. There’s absolutely no team aspect to chess and that has got to be so much more relaxing for Tyler considering what league is at this point lol
"LoL is a team sport, that's why he's so good at chess, a single player turn based game with perfect information" What are you smoking and can I have a puff?
@@pairot01He is saying that the moba game genre is similar to chess, but the hardest think about Moba is that is a team based game, and can be very stressful because human interaction via chat is hard. Tyler1 finds chess less stressful because he don't need to correct his teammates mistakes, only his own.
honestly the play of sticking with one opening is really really good because there’s going to be patterns in how people react to it and you can figure out the best way to react to it. you’re limiting (as much as you can) the different moves and different directions a game can take. there’s an insane amount of different chess games that can take place and by narrowing that spectrum, even by a bit, and that plus practice gives him the logic and sense of how to move on a chessboard
There is mid game and end game, openings are important, but they are only a small portion of the game. I have a suspicion that this rating is rigged. I cannot believe that people somehow dont know this supposed opening he is using and how to counter it at 1900 elo
It's good for farming elo against amateur + competition. Experts (the tier above 1900) are probably going to know the best opening vs the one he's using and obliterate him.
This man is the very definition of "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 openings but I fear the man who has practiced one opening 10,000 times."
You dont just play the shit out of chess and reach 1900 naturally in 10 mos (Some played for much longer and stuck at 1300 or something)... Those who did probably were 5 yr olds and are now well known GMs..
i used to watch him a bit in like 2015 and it was so funny watching him rage at a lux in bottom lane then like 20 mins later he would make the most insane play while drooling over himself, truly a magical time.
The whole thing about Tyler is that he is extremely dedicated once he finds something that he likes to grind at. Like you said, his brother beat him in chess which sparked this insane chess arc. But what most people don't seem to be able to look past (his toxicity etc) is that he pours hours upon hours into grinding and learning stuff. Reviewing his mistakes, solving puzzles, and improving along the way. Truly built differently.
Proving once again that having a little bit of a toxic winner's mindset gets you very far. Glad to see him level out in some ways though, dude is definitely built different
