Story of the underdog

Leicester City 2016 (Premier League), Wigan Athletic 2013 (FA Cup), James Douglas 1990 (v Mike Tyson)… You may all be wondering what these seemingly unrelated sporting events have any relevance to chess? Well, all were won by the underdog and we, Magnum Opus, have the chance to create our own piece of history with our impending fixture against "La Belle France" who are ranked as the 12th best team on chess.com. 

They may have the advantage in terms of ratings, but what we lack in rating we more than make up for in heart and love for the game.

"I've been an underdog my whole life with the shape that I have and the way that I look. But once I get in the ring it's a whole different ball game."

- Andy Ruiz Jr.

Good luck to all
