Team Nymn won the Twitch Rivals Chess Showdown on Friday; the broadcast was watched by over 40,000 concurrent viewers. The winner defeated Team TrumpSC 6-2 in the final, while Team Hutch came third, ahead of Team BoxBox.
The Twitch Rivals Chess Showdown was a one-day event with 16 top Twitch streamers involved in a team competition. As such, it was the perfect conclusion to the highly successful Chess.com Pogchamps that finished recently.
The participants on Friday were Hutch (captain), Nymn (captain), BoxBox (captain), TrumpSC (captain), zalae, moistcr1tikal, ludwig, fuslie, erobb221, papaplatte, natehill, Itssliker, withluvxina, Scarra, QTcinderella, and Firebat.
Anki habitica. The tournament started with a round-robin phase in which each team faced the other three teams. In each individual team match, players played two games against the same opponent for a total of eight game-points. The time control was 10 minutes plus a two-second increment, and games were played in the Chess.com Live Server.
In the first round, Team TrumpSC annihilated team Boxbox 7-1 while Team Nymn scored a much closer 5-3 win over Team Hutch. Team TrumpSC then also won against Team Nymn (5-4) before Team BoxBox suffered another loss against Team Hutch (also 5-4). In an equally close third round, Team TrumpSC made it to the final with a third win: 5-4 against Team Hutch. Team BoxBox lost again: another 5-4 vs Team Nymn.
One of the highlights of the day was TrumpSC's win vs. Hutch in the playoff as the black king was unexpectedly checkmated in the middle of the board.
