"It's like Goku wearing weights while training": Streaming community shocked after Tyler1 hits 1,500 rating on Chess.com

Twitch star and popular League of Legends personality Tyler "loltyler1" has taken the streaming community by surprise after climbing up to 1,500 ELO ratings on chess.com. For those uninitiated, an ELO rating system is used to measure the relative strength of a player. It is calculated based on wins or losses that the player incurs.

A 1500 rating is considered a respectable number, especially for someone who is primarily known for their skills in a different game like League of Legends. This achievement showcases Tyler's adaptability and talent in various competitive gaming genres.

Twitch users across social media platforms commended the streamer, focusing on how he often starts his matches with intentionally bad openings, in a way increasing the difficulty at which he plays. This led to one user even comparing him with the Anime protagonist Goku, saying:

"It's like Goku wearing weights while training."

One user noted the similarity between lolTyler1 and Goku, the iconic character from the anime series Dragon Ball Z. They compared Tyler's intentional self-sabotage at the start of his chess matches with Goku wearing weights while training, as when either one of them will stop this limiting factor, they will be even stronger afterward:
