The five-time US chess champion is finding a new home on Kick. And this has piqued the interest of the internet, including Jimmy Donaldson himself.

Nakamura already has a very active YouTube channel with more than 1.85 million subscribers. But the highlight lies in regard to his previous home. That is, before joining Kick, the Misfits Gaming content creator was very much active on Twitch. He has more than 1.8 million followers there as well.

He had his last stream on the platform around half a month ago, and the reason why he did not stream for more than 16 days is revealed now. According to Kick’s official Twitter handle, the five-time US champion will mark his Kick debut this Wednesday at 11 AM EST.
