...play? He returned to play a man ranked 101st in the world and, except for a couple of games in which Spassky was frankly inept, their play has been roughly even.

Wickham soon lets you know he's no ordinary man: he says he's an evangelist minister who flew half a dozen missions with the 101st Airborne Division in World War II and played a sergeant alongside war hero Audie Murphy in the film To Hell and Back. He has ridden bulls in Oklahoma rodeos, played poker with Clint Eastwood and tossed dice with Robert Redford and Paul Newman in Las Vegas...
