Twitch plays chess is back.

After a crazy reception for the first ever crowdsourced chess game on Twitch, we’re bringing Twitch vs. Pure Chess back with a vengeance.

On Wednesday November 16 from 4pm GMT / 8am PST, Grandmaster Niclas Huschenbeth will be taking on the hive mind of the Twitch chat in a live showdown on the Ripstone Twitch channel. The previous instalment of Twitch plays chess saw over 6000 players voting for moves against GM Simon Willams, with the overall result being two wins for the GM, one win for the chat. Niclas will be battling it out with the chat for a clear run on the front page of Twitch, so the stakes are pretty high.

Follow us on Twitch to be notified when we go live with GM Huschenbeth!

We will be asking Niclas questions throughout the stream, so if there is something you would like us to ask him, please leave a comment below!

If the chat manages to defeat Niclas, everyone watching will be given a free game from the Ripstone catalogue. So join us on the front page of Twitch on November 16th from 4pm GMT and make your best move!

Who wins? Chess decides. (sorry)
