Chess.comThe fourth iteration of the now-famous PogChamps chess tournament has officially been announced, with a number of top streamers and chess players set to juke it out for the $100,000 prize pool.
The last PogChamps tournament saw The Office star Rainn Wilson channel his inner Dwight Schrute following a tough loss to French League of Legends player Andréas ‘Sardoche’ Honnet. The tournaments themselves are always full of fun, with varying skill levels making for both interesting and hilarious matchups. Now, it’s about to pop off once again with top YouTube and Twitch stars searching for that checkmate against one another.
As organized by Chess.com, the tournament guarantees a $100k prize pool, a figure which will then be matched by Chess.com in the form of a charitable donation to Rise Above the Disorder (RAD) charity, dedicated to making mental health care more accessible and affordable.- Read More: Andrea Botez gives opponent her number after losing chess bet
