Ludwig Ahgren teamed up with GMHess to win against Sardoche (popular LoL streamer) &BlitzStream in an epic battle to clinch the $5,000 first prize as well as a year's supply of Doritos.
Hand & Brain is a variant of chess where one player gets to name a piece & the other player decides the move to make. The "brain" cannot tell the specific move they want to play or give any hint to help the "hand" to figure it out.
This was the third time that chess was featured in Twitch Rivals - a series of competitions for
Twitch streamers and viewers in a wide range of esports - showing the increasing popularity of the game in recent years.
Ludwig and GMHess ended up winning the competition thanks to their incredible chemistry and perseverance, outplaying their opponents in a series of eight matches.
Today's setup comes from the 2021 Twitc hRivals Chess Hand and Brain competition.
