    Is anyone else watching PogChamps currently going on on Twitch? For those of you who aren't aware, PogChamps is an online chess tournament played by popular streamers including Ludwig, QTCinderella, and Mr.Beast to support non profits.
     
    I'm around the same ranking as many of these players, but for some reason with chess I only find it interesting watching people way above my level. There's a couple IM channels I follow and that's generally it as far as my viewership goes.

    I also don't like twitch much as a company so that also depletes my interest.

    Fair, it is frusterating watching the blunders but it's for a good cause and I am a fan of Anna Rudolph and Ludwig.

    It's not so much frustration since I think it's perfectly fine watching blunders. I make stupid blunders all the time too. When I watch chess it's mostly for the teaching aspect. I love learning and there's so much to learn. John Bartholomew is my favorite channel in this regard since his videos on fundamentals are very good.

    It's also why I'm not into Nakamura's content. He's obviously extremely good, but goes way too fast and I feel like I'm not picking much up.

    Yes I have watched Naroditsky. He's a very talented and informative player. I would love to go back and finish the series.
     
    I don't watch Twitch, ever, and find the term pogchamp annoying, so. u_u
