With more than 300K peak viewers, the Mogul Chessboxing Championship has already achieved milestones. We don't usually see this much viewership in Chess events and tournaments, but there are a couple of exceptions.
The Mogul Chessboxing Championship has yet to break the peak views set by Chess.com Pogchamps 3, a Chess tournament featuring top streamers like xQc, Pokimane, and Ludwig himself. This tournament, held in February 2021, accumulated 375K+ peak viewers. It even became the most-watched Chess tournament of all time - but only for a while.
Months later, World Chess Championship in 2021 went on to raise the bar extremely high. The championship which saw world champion, Magnus Carlsen successfully defend his title attracted 613K+ peak viewers.
But the show is far from over. The Mogul Chessboxing Championship is still live and there are chances that it can further raise Ludwig's viewership record. You can watch the Chessboxing event on Ludwig's YouTube channel.
