Tyler Garrett: The Comedy of Chess and Comebacks

Meet Tyler Garrett, a spirited chess enthusiast with a rapid rating peaking at a respectable 604 in 2025 and a blitz rating that’s still finding its footing at 375. Playing under the enigmatic username HazardKore, Tyler doesn’t just play chess; he turns the game into a rollercoaster of wins, losses, and the occasional dramatic comeback.

With over 700 rapid games played, Tyler boasts a decent win record (345 wins!), although his losses number 306—because let’s face it, every knight needs a pawn sacrifice or two for the story to be good. His longest winning streak? A legendary 9 games, proving he can channel his inner grandmaster when the stars align.

The Openings That Define Him

• Caro Kann Defense: Tyler’s secret weapon, with an impressive 61% win rate.
• Scotch Game & Three Knights Opening: Close companions in his quest for victory, both boasting win rates above 60%.
• Not so much luck with the Queen’s Pawn Opening Mikenas Defense and Van ’t Kruijs Opening, but hey, those are just details in the grand comedy of chess!

Playing Style & Quirks

Tyler is no quitter—his early resignation rate is a modest 5.45%, which means he often drags out his matches, possibly to squeeze every bit of drama out of the clock. Average moves per win sit around 56, with losses taking even longer—because sometimes it’s about losing in style.

His comeback rate is a jaw-dropping 67%, and he never loses after losing a piece (100% win rate there). Clearly, Tyler thrives under pressure, perhaps fueled by a mysterious blend of caffeine and stubbornness.

Timing is Everything

Tyler’s best hours are the wee morning hours and mid-afternoon bursts, with a perfect 100% win rate at 9 AM (someone’s a morning person!). Tuesdays and Saturdays bring out his best game, while Fridays... well, maybe that’s for pizza day.

Psychological Profile

With a tilt factor of 8, Tyler is not immune to the emotional rollercoaster that chess can bring. However, his rated vs casual win difference of nearly 49% suggests that when the stakes are high, he steps up the game with a side of comic timing.

Among his vast pool of opponents, Tyler has a fan club of usernames he dominates with 100% win rates, proving he’s got his favorite opponents to tease on the board.

In essence, Tyler Garrett isn’t just another player; he’s the guy who turns the quiet, intense moments of chess into an entertaining saga filled with strategic wins, epic comebacks, and just the right amount of hope (and humor) to keep both opponents and spectators thoroughly engaged.
