Chessnut Giveaway at TwitchCon Rotterdam 2026
After an incredible weekend at TwitchCon Rotterdam 2026, one thing became very clear: people weren't just curious about smart chess—they wanted to be part of it.
Throughout the event, the Chessnut booth remained one of the most active gathering spots inside the Fanfinity area. Visitors stopped to watch games, try the boards for themselves, challenge friends, and discover what modern chess technology can do.
To celebrate the event and thank everyone who visited the booth, we organized a special giveaway with a Chessnut Pro as the grand prize.
More Than Just a Prize
As soon as the giveaway was announced, excitement quickly spread across the exhibition floor.
Visitors returned to the booth to participate, brought friends over to see the boards, and spent even more time exploring the Chessnut ecosystem. The giveaway created countless conversations—not just about the prize itself, but about chess, technology, content creation, and the future of over-the-board play.
It became another example of what made TwitchCon such a unique experience for Chessnut: bringing together people who may have discovered us through completely different interests, yet found common ground over a chessboard.
Building Connections Through Chess
One of the most rewarding parts of the event was meeting players from all backgrounds.
Some visitors were experienced tournament players. Others were streamers, gamers, or complete beginners who had never interacted with a smart chessboard before.
Many arrived simply curious about the technology. They left having played games, asked questions, shared ideas, and connected with other members of the community.
The giveaway helped create even more of those moments.
Congratulations to Our Winner
At the end of the event, one lucky participant walked away with a Chessnut Pro.
But beyond the prize itself, the real success was seeing so many people engage with chess in a fun, social, and interactive environment.
From live demonstrations and content creation to casual games and community conversations, TwitchCon Rotterdam 2026 showed that chess has a natural place within modern creator culture.
Looking Back
The giveaway was only a small part of the weekend, but it perfectly reflected what the event was all about: bringing people together through chess.
We would like to thank everyone who visited the booth, participated in the giveaway, played a game, asked a question, or simply stopped by to see what Chessnut was all about.
