Ravens guard John Urschel always wants to face the best, but when it comes to intellectual peers, there’s not too many who can step into the Ph.D. mathematician’s arena.
That is until Urschel faced off against Fabiano Caruana at the Liberty Science Center Genius Gala 5.0 in Jersey City, N.J. Caruana is the best American-born chess player ever, and No. 3 player in the current world rankings.
The match happened a month ago, but I just saw video of it, which is pretty amazing to watch.
Urschel was given a small handicap, but not much.
