Tyler theCreator - The Chess Maverick
Known online by the username ccccc134, Tyler theCreator is not your average chess player. From grinding numerous rapid games to blitz and bullet battles, Tyler's journey on the 64 squares is nothing short of a rollercoaster with flair and determination.
Rating & Growth
Starting with a humble rapid rating of around 218 in 2023, Tyler dramatically improved to an impressive 524 by 2025, proving that practice and persistence do pay off. Blitz and bullet ratings tell an adventurous story, with highs in the 300s and a bullet peak scoring as high as 457 in 2025 — making quick moves his domain, though not without its fair share of nail-biting losses.
Playing Style & Habits
Tyler tends to average around 56 moves per win — a patient strategist rather than a speedster – though he does turn on the fireworks in shorter burst formats. He’s not shy about bowing out early sometimes (an early resignation rate of 13.6%), perhaps to save energy for the next fierce battle. With an almost uncanny comeback rate of 61.79% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, Tyler channels the resilience of a true underdog. Plus, a modest tilt factor of 11 shows he’s got nerves of steel, mostly.
Favorite Openings
Tyler enjoys throwing opponents off with versatile and eclectic openings. These include the Modern Defense (winning half the battles), the tricky Van Geet Opening (superior win rate), and the classic yet aggressive Italian Game Knight Attack boasting a magnificent 68% win rate in rapid games. In blitz and bullet, he sometimes spices things up with the Alekhine's Defense and Scandinavian Defense, proving he’s not scared to tango with uncommon variations.
Record & Opponents
Tyler has been through 423 wins, 393 losses, and 54 draws in rapid games — a balanced ledger that screams “tough battles fought.” His blitz and bullet results are a bit rougher, but hey, who’s counting? When faced with top opponents, Tyler’s results are just as mixed, ranging from perfect scores against some to tough losses against others. It’s all part of the adventure!
