Probably resurface on Dave with a different title. Format was getting over tired, but I doubt that the replacement 'entertainment formats' will be any more grownup.

World number one chess player, Magnus Carlsen, plays three people (who have paid $5,000 each for the privilege) at the same time, over three boards, where they have nine minutes each to make all their moves and so does he (so he has a third of the time on average)...oh and he's blindfolded.

The results? Never in doubt.

Explanation and video:

Pfft!

I can play chess just as well with or without a blindfold.

If you follow cycling, the Giro d'Italia has been one of the toughest three week Grand Tours for many a year. Wonderful stuff.

I don't think everyone had to compete in all the events. Maybe that's something for them to think about for next year.
