> PogChamps is an online amateur chess tournament hosted by Chess.com. Players in the tournament are internet personalities, primarily Twitch streamers. PogChamps takes place over the course of two weeks and has a prize pool of $50,000.

Basically, very strong chess players trained twitch personalities for a few days, and then had them play against each other.
