On the 30th of April, DrLupo participated in Chess.com’s PogChamps competition, a tournament where content creators compete for an impressive $100,000 prize pool. In his game against Wolf, DrLupo made a critical error by leaving his queen exposed, but he managed to play the rest of the match flawlessly. Spectators, including chess professionals, were quick to point out that his moves seemed unusual, and accusations of cheating arose, which DrLupo initially refuted. However, Chess.com later disqualified DrLupo from the tournament after it was revealed he had used a chess engine to cheat during his match. Subsequently, DrLupo publicly admitted his mistake on stream, expressing regret and apologizing to his viewers and fellow competitors for his actions.
