After i heard of this story a month ago I switched to only doing one type of opening like tyler and after being stuck at 600 elo for a year I just about pushed into 800 a few times in a matter of a few weeks. As soon as i hit 780ish elo i get nervous and start hanging pieces. Hard realization while doing this that i was playing whats technically supposed to be the best responses I actually had very low understanding of the openings meaning for mid game shenanigans.

Good food for thought. I tend to get tired of playing the same opening and took a year off of chess and dropped 400 points. One day when I have some disposable cash I'm going to get diamond and do a bunch of puzzles. Still won't have an eighth of time in the day as Tyler1 but that's okay.

Obsession, obsession in the purest form. He simply can't help himself but to be the best at anything he does. He NEEDS and WANTS to be up there. He doesn't let the "complexity" of the game determine anything he does. He sees pieces moving and the base rules. He simply just isn't overcomplicating things.

What I can't believe is that this guy isn't your stereotypical "no life." He's a gym bro who's in shape and grinds League of Legends... Then somehow finds time to grind the crap out of Chess on top of that. Tyler1 is the ultimate sigma male and I don't throw that word around lightly. This guy makes no sense, but oh my God can he grind.

One point you touched lightly on, but didn't emphasize enough is his extensive experience on strategy games like LoL at the highest levels. This experience has developed his strategic thinking, as well as thoroughly exercised his pattern recognition and memory which all translate well to chess. He didn't start from scratch.

About this "only one opening" strategy, it makes a lot of sense that LOL players would do that. In League, we have a lot of players that calls themselves OTP(One Trick Poney) which means only playing with the same character. Tyler1 used to be a Draven OTP. This way you can have a more intricate and profound knowledge of one specific game state, which is all you need. I used to try to broaden my openings, but this is a changw that can make you improve significantly HOWEVER, this might be good for online chess, because the platform randomly matches you with someone, but it is flawed for tournaments. Since you become predictable and people can study your moves to find flaws and always start with an advantage, which is a huge thing in chess (of course there is countless problems in midgames and it is mot so easy to convert a win, but definetly helps)

The opening is not important at lower levels. It is, however, important when it comes to very top level. This is because the players will know how to punish sub-par openings and when you reach the middl-game, you will already be at a disadvantage.

Tyler spends most of his time playing league and also has gym and family/girlfriend obligations. I think the "elephant in the room" isn't as big as implied. As a religious gym member, he definitely has the doer mindset you brought up but there's one thing that I think is the real fuel behind his climb: he takes losses very seriously. This is something we see from Hikaru and Mag but that difference makes him analyze each loss, something he did in league. I also think his lack of chess education/opening theory etc is a blessing as that's mainly useful in fast chess, in familiar positions and at high accuracy chess in other words, those aren't true fundamentals. The true fundamentals of chess are tactical vision and calculaton.

Ya this is facts. He broke every rule but that's because most advice comes from titled players, and to be titled you need to do a whole bunch of stuff that doesn't matter on online speed chess I was stuck in the 1900s for a while, and watching tyler1 inspired me a lot. I hit 2k recently following his strategy completely. Specifically, I stopped playing 2-4 games a day where I carefully decided on my moves and technique. Instead, I jammed 10-20 games a day where I put my opponents under extreme time pressure and thought as hard as I could which tactical opportunities might exist Good luck getting 2k, you absolutely should copy t1 to get there <o

tyler1 is a league player that got to challenger maining every lane. thats his secret, playing videogames specially competitive real time games at high level gives him a trained patter recognition mind and learning ability, him picking rapidchess also was a smart move he probably can think or react faster than your average player because of the nature of league of legends, giving him a natural advantage in rapid.

I love it. This is what happens when someone enters the game with no respect for tradition or traditional learning methods. They explore and figure out what actually matters and focus on those instead of what everyone says matters. And they climb with incredible efficiency. Tradition is heavy, bloated, lacking in logic. If you use a more streamlined approach that is more closely tied to the actual moves you are making, you leave the world of rote memorization and scholarly volumes of knowledge. And you enter to world of value, tactics, intuition. This sort of disruption is happening in every field. Language learners are finding that language is best learned through the language. Feynman noticed this issue himself when teaching in Brazil and everyone knew the answers, but they had no connection to what they were actually questioning in physics. He is showing us how you learn if you discard all the rules and focus instead on moves.

my peak OTB uscf elo was in the 1700s, playing almost exclusively the english as white, and KID / sicilian as black. there really is a lot to be said about playing the same opening over and over at club elos. like you said, his opening is objectively bad, but if he's played it 3000 times, and an opponent who is objectively better has only played against that opening 15 times, he has a clear advantage despite being an "inferior" player. its like being a 1400 and someone who is rated 2200 decides to play the scandinavian. its an objectively bad opening, but they have a much better understanding of it and will probably win. also, as you said, the dude has the ability to sit there and grind for 14 hours a day. GM aman hambleton lost to an FM in title tuesday a while back, but that "FM" has a 2500+ elo FIDE, he just doesnt have the time to get IM or GM norms. although we can sit here and be annoyed that someone like tyler has a higher elo than us, if he sat there and played that many games of the same opening and didnt raise his elo, that would probably raise more questions than him hitting 1900 does. if you play the same opening over and over, you can spot the errors an opponent makes rather easy. i lost count of how many times i played the english against some kid in blitz or rapid otb, only for them to get their bishop trapped by c4-c5 because they werent used to a pawn being on c4 when they tried to pin my knight with their bishop

Though I won't be throwing myself into chess, I had some great insights from seeing Tyler1's progress in chess (I think many of us did), and people's reactions to it, as well as the Chessbrah's "building habits" series, where he progressed up to about 1800 following a very simple set of rules, and also Hikiru hitting 3k with the bongcloud. It comes down to general and foundational skills vs specific knowledge, and *how much* your foundation matters so much more, not just in chess, but almost everything. I think also, it comes down to a fear of doing things incorrectly. For someone like me, who has a paralyzing fear of doing something the wrong way, we search and search for the most optimal way to do something because we hear that "practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice does", and that by doing something wrong we will not only waste our time, but we will somehow develop a bad habit "boogeyman" that we become afraid of. "what if I'm doing it wrong? am I learning a bad habit? will people call me out for this?" is something that's hard to get out of my head. In reality there's a push & pull between general and specific knowledge. There's a time to go in one direction and a time for the other. I had this fear with language learning, and for years I made no progress because I was afraid that if I don't do it the "right way", then I shouldn't do it at all. Oh duolingo? That's bad? Don't want to study anki decks? That's bad, and I'm lazy and I should stop trying if I'm not serious. In the end, I made way more progress after 1 year of learning doing it my own way, giving myself room to feel out what I liked and didn't like. My big lesson is that it's OK to learn the wrong way, because *all learning* is beneficial. Sometimes, QUANTITY is actually better than quality. It's about recognizing when you need to start being more specific and targeted in your approach, but that can only come with time when you've already spent time doing the thing. If you spend 1000 hours doing something the *wrong way*, it's not a waste of time, as long as you're commited you'll make up that time faster than you would by not trying at all.

This is my summary on tyler: - Practice and learn as few opening as possible at the same time. - Stop wasting time looking for the best way of doing things and looking at multiple source of informations: choose one and just put in the hard work. - Believe you are good enough to learn and imagine yourself a winner. - Be conscious and aware during your games. - Let chess be a central thing in your life, think about it when you are not playing, and practice in your head also. - Do both a lot of puzzles and a lot of games.

He wins or loses in the middlegame. Middlegame is mostly decided by tactics. He is 2300+ in puzzles/tactics. Opening 25%, Middlegame 50%, Ending 25% time spent. Against Tyler you are playing mostly against a 2300.

Tyler has one of the best strats to get to 2000, pick an opening, preferably a passive system, like the hippo, and play it both collors. Now is this the best strat for a player that aims higher than 2000? IMO absolutely not, after 2000, playing passive systems like this gets EXPONENTIALLY harder, I'm 2100 blitz (2250 rapid but i barely play rapid) and sometimes i get straigth up rolled from the opening where my opponent play main line and hard press me since move 1 if idk theory or if I play passive, my first plato was around 1900 because i was getting smoked way too often from the opening. Sub 2000 simply don't know how to propperly punish passive systems, they either get to aggressive and hang everything, or stay passive and allows the passive opening to be fine and irrelevant, so the more experienced side will win.

I am following Tyler and I will tell you what is number one factor why he is improving quickly. He is not getting tilted. He is screaming etc but he plays and plays and without tilt. I was playing like that blitz which is the rating I dont care about and I have much higher success because I simply dont care. Even if he is losing he plays forward, because he is not tilted
