Ludwig Hosts Dumber Chess Tournament 2022 with Big Creators
Ludwig is capitalizing on the hype and bringing back the Chess meta with a new “dumber” tournament. The tournament will feature popular creators such as Sykkuno, Valkyrae, DisguisedToast, Myth, and more.
The Dumb Chess Tournament 2022
Ludwig’s Dumb Chess Tournament 2022 will showcase eight “fledgling” chess players competing in a live tournament. To add a twist, the evaluation bar will be enabled throughout the matches to provide some assistance.
What is the Evaluation Bar?
The evaluation bar, available on Chess.com, allows players to see data evaluated by a chess engine. This feature provides information about a player’s specific position, helping them make better decisions during the game. The bar displays metrics and color evaluations, indicating which side has an advantage based on positioning and piece advantage.
Improving the Overall Play
The evaluation bar aims to enhance the overall play of the tournament by giving players access to valuable information. However, the ultimate outcome of the matches still relies on the players’ own strategic thinking and decision-making.
Additional surprises and rules may be introduced to spice up the tournament. As of now, confirmed participants include Sykkuno, Valkyrae, DisguisedToast, Myth, Erobb, Stanz, and two other players.
When and Where to Watch
The Dumb Chess Tournament 2022 will be streamed live on Ludwig’s YouTube channel on August 27 and 28, starting at approximately 4pm CT. The tournament features a $10,000 prize pool and is presented by Chess.com, which may lead to surprise appearances from other chess content creators or professionals.
