The Mogul Chessboxing Championship is a hybrid sporting event where YouTube, Twitch and other Livestreaming personalities compete in alternating rounds of boxing and chess in accordance with the rules of chess boxing. Mogul Chessboxing Championship gets its name from its founder Ludwig Ahgren, whose company operates under the name Mogul Moves. The event premiered on December 11, 2022.[1] at the Galen Center in Los Angeles.
The 2022 edition of the event broke the record for most viewed Chessboxing event of all time at over 558,000 viewers.[2] After the first 24 hours, the VOD replay on Youtube had amassed 2.8 million views.[3]
Approximately 10,000 fans were in attendance at the 2022 event on the campus of University of Southern California.[4] The 2023 edition of the event was scheduled to take place in late 2023, but a date was never officially announced. On September 27, 2023, Ludwig announced on Twitter that the event would not be taking place in part due to sanctioning issues with the state of Nevada.[5]
