Tyler first learned how to play chess at the age of 10, when taking a few chess classes at primary school. His interest in chess grew once he started going to the Chesslife Cafe in Lobethal, where he played games with and learned from David and Sabrina. In addition to playing chess, he currently studies a Bachelor of Architectural Design. He believes that chess has a huge positive impact on anyone who plays, and enjoys being able to help children learn chess and benefit from what it has to offer.
