US Murph tell us about the most dramatic Monday Night Football of all time, as the Rams and the Chiefs combined for over 100 points in a classic that is set to change the sport of American Football. Is there such a thing as too many touch-downs?
Smart is sexy, says the head of World Chess, as the darling of Norwegian society Magnus Carlsen seeks to defend his title against Fabiano Caruana. We talk to the BBC’s David Edmonds – author, podcaster and philosopher – about the chess glory days, Cold War conflicts, the arrival of computers, and why IBM might have punctured the aura of the grand masters but has added to the human on human battles.
I have written a long read for @prospect_uk on chess and computers. https://t.co/InSW5JsGbm featuring @DanielKingChess @nigelshortchess @murraycampbell
