Well, the writing isn't news, it's magazine. Different communicative goal.


It was a good article and I'm glad I read it. The sub-headline (whatever that's called) does say, "One of the most amazing feats in chess history just happened, and no one noticed," clearly trying to get the reader to feel ashamed for not caring about Chess. Curious to hear what this news was, I kept reading and reading and reading... and reading and reading... and there it is. A guy other than Carlsen won an important tournament. Okay.

Just a bothersome sensational headline that really isn't needed on such a good article.
