MrBeast called out Ludwig to explain an intellectual chess move, and fans are still trying to figure out the answer. 

In the past couple of months, chess has become an important part of the esports industry. Multiple streamers have featured online versions of the game, garnering thousands of views. I mean, it is one of the most intellectual board games to ever be made, and fans have always been in awe of it. Plus, it also attracted fresh viewership, with new users showing their interest in the game.

However, if we have to pen down the recent biggest event featuring this game, it would be Ludwig’s chessboxing. Back in December, the streamer took two sports, boxing and chess, and clubbed them into one. It was one of the unique concepts witnessed by the esports industry, pushing them towards ‘chess’ more. 

And since then, the hype never stopped until a popular YouTuber walked in. Apparently, MrBeast showed recent interest in the sport, calling out Ludwig to explain one of the chess moves.

Apparently, Jimmy was unaware of what he saw, pushing him to ask Ludwig for an answer. He posted a comment saying, “LudwigAhgren can you reply with the answer, I’m curious”. And in minutes, the recent ‘chessboxing’ event host replied, “I spent 15 minutes trying to find the move for white before realizing it was black to play LOL.” 

MrBeast added another comment over this, waiting for a solution. So, Ludwig penned down a detailed statement, clearing his doubt. Here’s what he said, “I played the little puzzle You sack the bishop on h3 so ur pawn can solo both the white pawns Then you swing your king to the right and push both pawns and promote to queen I fucked it up like 15 times it’s hard as shit LMAO.” 

Dutch Grandmaster joins the parade

While the YouTubers continued to decode the puzzle, Dutch Grandmaster Anish Giri joined the parade. At first, he trolled them saying that the puzzle was not for noobs but took back his comment after finding out that Ludwig cracked the code. Giri spared another statement asking for the logic behind solving it, but Ludwig decided to stay mum. 

So, for now, it looks like Jimmy has found the answer. But for Giri, it is time that will help us understand whether Ludwig spares a comment.
