The Caw: How You Can Play Chess Against John Urschel
About two years ago, I took on Ravens guard/center and resident math genius John Urschel in chess.
I lost, and lost, and lost some more.
Good news, Ravens fans. Now you can feel the painful sting of defeat for yourself!
The website Chess.com has organized a pro-am vote-chess event pairing Urschel with International Master (yes, that’s hilariously what they call really good chess players) Danny Rensch to take on the world in chess.
Any Chess.com member can register to vote on what the “world’s” next move should be. The game begins on June 1.
“I never thought my love for the game would take me this far," Urschel told Chess.com.
