The Latvian Gambit?! @ludwig throws something TOTALLY unexpected at Papaplatte during PogChamps, but Papaplatte responds well and seems to in control when the most incredible thing happens! This is a must-watch Pogchamps chess match between Ludwig and Papaplatte!

[mitschnel]

so confusing to see a german and an american streamer in one stream. Feels like two worlds colliding lol

[Cherryxarts]

tf einfach krasseres crossover als Infinity war

[ambivalence]

What Pappaplatte did in Germany we call it "Abitur Brandenburg"

Edit: holy shit thank y'all for so many likes i just came back to this half a year after typing this lmao

[tristanbuster]

can't wait for "how I accidentally won a chess tournament"

[nicknameinuse]

Lmao listening in when Ludwig is complaining about Hikaru was hilariously awkward

[grantstanish]

This is honesty more entertaining than high level games tbh

[thatne]

Papaplatte looks like scuffed Harry Potter

[MrEnergiecottbusfan]

This is so weird if you watched Botez, Hikaru and Papaplatte a month ago. Like a mix of things that don't belong together and never thought they would appear on the same stream.

Nice to see that Ludwig was able to develop his king to e5

12:30 Botez Gambit Declined. Ludwig variation.

[feed]

11:40 - When Hikaru still hopes Ludwig is not throwing the game.
12:48 - When Hikaru realized he did throw the game.

[AgentMCCityDE]

Papaplatte uses so many English words you probably would have understood him

[maellereu]

Papaplatte: I'm a young chilled dude...

[Anodin_]

gefühlt ist papaplatte der deutsche ludwig und ludwig der amerikanische papaplatte

[richaragonzales]

Ludwig's chat went insane watching him miss the free queen

I can only imagine when he blundered his took that it was worse

[hothead]

These games are just exciting because you don't know what any these players can do lol

[OhKaiizer]

21:56 Lmao you can hear kevin even tho hes muted

[devashishchhabra]

4:46 ludwig wanted the "horse" so bad he became one

[askmiller]

It almost feels like the objective is to find the most creative way to lose, until eventually someone had to win. "He put his horses 2 apart, literally allowing me to pin it" is such a brilliant line because it displays knowledge of the mechanics of chess and some basic strategy while simultaneously sounding like he has no idea what he's doing.

Ludwig's gambits in literally anything and everything continues to horrify and amaze me.
