49%? Make that 80% Losing aint just about losing the game, it also includes losing your sanity. Something that league is very good at doing to its players.
He’s learning endgame from studying matches. He watches and studies matches from “that Carlston guy”. He really understands what’s going on too. But he tells the audience he can’t comprehend it. Tyler is truly impressive.
I love the admiration you have for him, but going from where he is to a GM will take him at least like 10 years, if he’s an actual demon he might do it in like 6/7 but he will absolutely never beat Magnus. Magnus is the greatest of all time.
imagine he starts, plays cow like couple of times and gets ties or something. Then like brock lee drops the weights and plays a meta opening he secretly studied for YEARS
Tyler1 is actually a Terminator from the future that went not far enough back in time, so instead needs destroy Levy by becoming a Chess GM before Levy destroys Skynet.
@@oliver1784 Not knowing him, i'd assume he's obsessive enough to learn years of chess theory in a matter of months. Since he already made it to near 2000 in a year. So it's possible.

the chess community’s gradual transition from seething to coping throughout Tyler1’s chess journey is so satisfying. anyone who knows t1 knew this would happen
I don't see anyone seething. Lots of players have already achieved similar progress or better before Tyler1 did it. Remember that 1900 is still far below master, and chess improvement is easy at the amateur level. It's at the master and grandmaster levels where progress up the ranks starts to get hard. The same is true of many games, such as go/weiqi/baduk, shogi, bridge, etc.
It is fascinating to me how Levy uses the EXACT same language SkillCapped used, when they described his meteoric rise to Challenger in League back when he was on Ivern duty. He's a patient observer and he's commited. He favors having a bad plan over executing anything without one at all and he's a strong advocate for synergy and team play, even tho it might not seem like that at a first glance.
The fact that this series went from, making jokes about the league player who threatens to beat "Hikiru" or "Magnus Carlsten", and now seeing how he has become an Actual serious threat in the Chess community is just beautiful. I was so waiting for a next part, am glad it came.
10000 GAMES IN 10 MONTHS. how much chess this man plays??? I'm also a 1900(playing almost 2 years), but have played only 2944 games. That's insane how much dedication to the game Tyler has.
I'd argue that it's more like a crouch cancel falcon who does a lot of down throw tech chases. Fast, methodical and arguably a little boring. But that fundamental playstyle provides a lot of openings to mix up your plays.
Playing the same opening every time reminds me of that quote, "I don't fear the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times".
The hilarious thing about your defensive tennis player analogy is that the most prominent player of that style right now, Daniil Medvedev, is actually a very good chess player, and uses the nickname "The Chessmaster" in UTS competitions
He will never hit 1200 He will never hit 1300 He will never hit 1400 He will never hit 1500 He will never hit 1600 He will never hit 1700 He will never hit 1800 He will never hit 2000
He won't become GM for sure,literally anybody can do from 0 to 2000 in a yr but becoming a grandmaster is different ball game,that's why levy never become GM for that reason despite spending his entire life in chess.
To me the players I meet that play like trash in the opening are the scariest to me. Because if they are similar rating to me, but I play real openings and they don't, that means they are making up the difference somewhere. So they're probably a tactical monster, have really strong positional play, are good at endgames, etc. In Tylers case, he likely has very strong tactical play because you know, HE'S PLAYED OVER 20K PUZZLES IN A YEAR OH MY GOD.
Imho, the meme opening is key to his success, in contrast to what you are implying. Pretty much no one knows cow theory, and I doubt many players have seen it enough in games to know how to deal with it. Couple that with a time format where the opponent doesn't get time to properly think and you have a serious advantage.
People were saying when he reached 1000 with the Cow that it would definitely hold him back and he would plateau at 13-1500 because supposedly it's too passive. Now he's 2000 so his chess speaks for itself really.
"he has bicep bonus" fucking killed me, ngl lol. i've honestly never cared for Tyler, i find him incredibly annoying, but learning this about him has definitely at the very least given me a good amount of respect for his hustle and dedication to learning something new, to the point where he has this much success in such a short time. it's certainly laudable.
this is actually the exact same way he plays league of legends, he rarely has good scores and aggression but instead mostly focuses on what the enemy wants and making them have a hard time
thats what makes him and other streamers so strong in league. its the attitude towards losing. the highest league player is not the one who performs best, when he is winning. its the one who can handle defeat the best. in summary - i would say - its the losetolerance which makes a great league player. not his ability and knowledge of the game. the shier willpower of overcoming - incompetent teammates and inting. ofcourse it helps to have a good micro, understanding of the items etc. but thats everyone can learn. handling to lose, on a regular basis, with the full knowledge you did nothing wrong and still lost - and just hit the play again button - is what seperates these people from us average jonnies.
It's even more impressive when you realize Tyler1 is not just 1960 in chess, he is also a challenger in league of legends , and even better than just being a challenger ( the best rank in the game ), he reached challenger with any position in the game. Challenger just playing toplane, challenger just playing jungle, challenger just playing midlane , etc. he's a fucking genius in any game he touches .
It's similar to how Magnus was one of the best in the world at Premier League Fantasy Football a few years back. These guys have a talent for game theory that transfers well.
I can't wait for my future son to come home from chess school screaming "DADDY DADDY! Today we got introduced to the Big Tonka T cow variation 🤩 It's sooo positional ☺️"

Imagine T1 competing in classical chess tournaments in a tanktop 💀
The tyler1 dad lore gon go insane
It's even more impressive when you realize Tyler1 is not just 1960 in chess, he is also a challenger in league of legends , and even better than just being a challenger ( the best rank in the game ), he reached challenger with any position in the game. Challenger just playing toplane, challenger just playing jungle, challenger just playing midlane , etc. he's a fucking genius in any game he touches .
And multiple regions.
@@yozshu yep
Fucking master
He has great work ethic
It's similar to how Magnus was one of the best in the world at Premier League Fantasy Football a few years back. These guys have a talent for game theory that transfers well.
@@ravecrab I didn't know that
What a genius
"If you dont do well in school, you'll become a streamer"
Dont threaten me with a good time
I can't wait for my future son to come home from chess school screaming "DADDY DADDY! Today we got introduced to the Big Tonka T cow variation 🤩 It's sooo positional ☺️"
Listen here lil Adolfo, you keep talking and your new position will be in the mines down the block.
Where you'll find master T1 grinding. Go get your private lessons, son.
Levy vs Tyler1 would be a title fight chess match.
Nice change-of-pace video. Thanks, Gotham.
This was excellent had me riveted the whole way through - you are amazing at what you do & bringing people into the game and putting yourself to the challenge too more recently - much respect from the UK!!!
Levy: "Its Coming Soon Dont You Worry! The Title Will Be Mine!"
Tyler1: "Magnus Im Ready To Play You"
Tyler1 is that one friend that is just good at everything he puts his mind too.
Never i'd guess that one day levy would make videos about tyler1
Tyler1 is the BJ Penn of chess!
just makes sense
A squad is here for Levy. Talked about our boy right.
Cramling is probably loving this. La Vaca making history. Haha.
Very inspiring. Excellent content. Thank you.
You can come across as a little coarse when reviewing games if people don’t know your sense of humor. It’s good to see you lean heavily into more uplifting topics.
Don’t get me wrong, I love me some sarcasm. The variety is nice too.
Cheers!
"You don't do well on school, you're gonna be a chess streamer or league of legends streamer" bro just humiliated both of tyler1's career
A year from now Levy is gonna be covering a tournament game between Tyler and Magnus and he'll be crying at how much content he'll be able to make out of it
Might not even take that long considering how much attention that would draw for both of them
"His rating was 199. Rather than making good chess moves, he was eating the chess pieces."
LMAO
Tyler1 playing chess on his phone while his daughter is sleeping on his chest is the most wholesome image I've had in my head in a good while.
