Carlsen's Epic Game (Chess.com)

GM Magnus Carlsen has produced hundreds of brilliant games, so when you saw the word "epic" in the title, you probably envisioned one of those sparkling ...

The following game is a very good example. And now we are getting close to the most exciting part of the game. Indeed, in most cases, when we have a material advantage, we want to trade our pieces to get into an endgame. In most cases, it is well worth sacrificing a pawn to get counterplay rather than protect an inferior, passive position! Well, there is one very important reason in favor of the fianchetto. As a result of Praggnanandhaa's creative play, White's pawn on e5 is in grave danger. [previous article](https://www.chess.com/article/view/who-played-the-chess-idea-first), we briefly discussed the Greco attack, where a bishop on d3 is the main hero. You can find the whole story [here](https://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-and-political-correctness). In most cases, an "epic" is a major piece of historical heritage that sets cultural values. Look at White's bishop on d3, which is dangerously looking in the direction of Black's kingside. I am sure that a chess player of any level, from total beginner to [grandmaster](https://www.chess.com/terms/grandmaster-chess), would find something interesting in this game. While this game indeed features many attacks, counterattacks, and sacrifices, the result is a draw!

Trent Dilfer says Gregg Williams admitted stealing his playbook ... (CBSSports.com)

While speaking on ESPN's recently-aired documentary on that Ravens team, Dilfer said that longtime NFL assistant and former Titans defensive coordinator Gregg ...

Williams eventually got his ring in 2009 as the [Saints](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/NO/new-orleans-saints/)' defensive coordinator, but was later forced to serve a yearlong suspension for his role in New Orleans' bounty scandal. He most recently served as the [Jets](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/NYJ/new-york-jets/)' defensive coordinator in 2020. The defensive score -- which occurred when Ray Lewis plunked Steve McNair's pass out of the air and away from Eddie George -- proved to be the game-clinching score. Not one to lose things, Dilfer's mind immediately went to thinking that the playbook was stolen. "They're calling out everything," Dilfer said of Tennessee's defense. As he found out years later, Dilfer was right.

Treasure Island Fans v Faves ep 5: Josh Kronfeld eliminated in epic ... (New Zealand Herald)

McLeans big move may not have paid off this time. We pick up right where we left off in episode five with captain Matty McLean deciding who from team faves is ...

Ultimately the game doesn’t go Kronfeld’s way, namesake Oakley takes the win for team fans and it’s a massive loss for team faves with one of the best players in the game going home. But then it’s revealed that Devoy named son Josh Oakley after All-Black great Josh Kronfeld as the pair are about to faceoff. Anna Thomas takes a moment to call Jane Yee out for sharing with the other team that not everyone voted for her. Kronfeld is furious after what he says was a false promise from McLean who swore he wouldn’t do it for a second time. Then it’s team faceoff time and King still visibly isn’t happy with her new bandmates. Ultimately he picks Alex King to pack her bags and we begin to see that McLean may have the killer instinct after all.
