He played a lot of games and puzzles and practice a lot he should deserve to be prodigy
Why do people think Tyler1 is a prodigy?

he isn't a prodigy, simple reality.

It's pretty good, for sure. Much faster than I progressed when I was new to the game (though when I was new to the game, engines weren't around ...).
Though there are child prodigies who go much quicker.
Faustino Oro, for example. Self-taught at 6 years old. He went from struggling at the 1000 range to over 2200 online, within one year.
In year two he passed 2400 online.
In year three he passed 2800 online ... He's a 10-year-old FIDE Master now.

prodigy has nothing to do with being young. Your confusing phenom with Prodigy. Prodigy is simple someone who improves very quickly. Phenom is Prodigy but they are very young. An example of a phenom would be the top 20 juniors in the world right now. A very good example is Alireza a couple years back like 2017-2019.
you're confusing phenom with prodigy
i have never heard the word phenom actually used but prodigy means phenomenal performances at a young age
so it would be the reverse i think

Real over the board tournament results are the only real test.

Hmmm 🤔
I wouldn't say he is I think he has some sort of talent but it could be the fact that maybye grinds too much hmmm(which is what you need to do to get better unless you have talent) and since he doesn't tilt easily he actually learns something from his games..... due to the right mindset for grinding
I think the OP is just bothered that this Tyler1 person is being called a "prodigy", when 1700 Rapid (his current rating) is arguably nothing special at all.
It's somewhat an insult to the label of "prodigy", which generally applies to young players who've shown incredible chess skills for their age (see: Nakamura becoming a National Master at the age of 10, for example) ...

Not for you, but that's because you have almost unheard of talent
Idk

who me? pff you're dumb. I got to 2300 in 10 months. just shut up if you don't know anything.
@jugular8 I'm not jealus either I got to 2000 in about 10 +months (I could have gotten to rapid 2300, but I prefer competition in blitz) I actually agree with @Lars1580 a projegy relates to children instead you could call Tyler one naturally gifted(he prob was with that mindset of his)
Lars you’re like 12-13 you can easily live and breathe chess 8+ hours a day and are young enough where you can obviously learn faster than a 30 year old streamer with a GF, house, actual responsibilities, streaming career, and a kid. The fact he made even somewhat comparable progress to you, which is expected for a talented kid, goes to show how good he is. To put this way I’ve never heard of someone in Tyler’s case ever, but the chess world has definitely seen more talented kids than you quite often. Being young here actually goes against you.

To you, yeah. 😂
Actually, no. According to his bio, Lars1540 learned chess more than 10 years ago.
10 years is quite a bit more than 10 months.
He only really started playing chess and taking the game seriously in January 2023 though.
Yes, I read it. Still, 9 years of practice (even if it is sporadic) is a giant difference compared to starting from scratch.
Getting from beginner to 1800 in 10 months is an incredible feat, even real child prodigies are slower.
also what age of child prodigies are we talking about? like 5 y.o., ok they're slower, but only cause they don't spend 10 hours every day on chess
