At 48, Anand seemed to be turning back the clock as he won the World Rapid Chess Championships in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in a stunning fashion, besides claiming the bronze in the Blitz event. En route to his Rapid title, Anand even exacted revenge of his 2013 Worlds title loss against old nemesis Margus Carlsen of Norway, defeating the World No. 1 in the ninth match. The title, his second in the format after 2003, was sort of a hit back at his critics, who have clamoured for his retirement following his poor form....

According to Harry Litman, former U.S. attorney and deputy assistant attorney general, the Department of Justice is currently investigating Stone’s role in the attack, which left five dead and stunned the nation. In February, The Washington Post reported the Justice Department and the FBI were investigating ties between Stone, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and Capitol rioters.

In case you didn’t know… ROH’s Supercard of Honor is one of the biggest yearly events in Ring of Honor history. The event mostly takes place during WWE’s annual Wrestlemania PPV in the month of March or April. Over the years several New Japan Pro Wrestling stars are known to appear in the Supercard of Honor event, thanks to ROH’s relationship with NJPW. Earlier this year fans got the chance to witness the likes of Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, Dragon Lee and even The Hardy Boyz make their appearances on this year’s show....

The Indo-Romanian pair served as many 8 aces in the match and had the upper hand in the number of break points converted but barring these two stats, had a completely off- day, serving a total of 8 double faults and got just 54% of their first serves in as compared to 76% of their opponent. Although they had more number of winners, they fell short on the total number of points won(61) to 75 of their opponents and 23 unforced errors also didn’t help their cause....

At the end of the pulsating final, Rohit said, “All three titles are special. All three titles – like the first one in 2013 (and) 2015 against the same opposition (CSK) that we played in 2013. I personally feel it is how you prepare at the start of the tournament, getting your combinations right and going on to the field. That’s the most critical part of winning the tournament. Individual brilliance can win you a few games, but what is required to win this championship is team unity, team work and intelligence....

Reus has had to endure torrid luck with injuries over the last few years, with the German particularly struggling last season and during the current campaign. After missing the first half of last season with a pelvic problem, he then went on to rupture a knee ligament in May, keeping him out until early February. He made his return on February 10 in the 2-0 defeat of Hamburg and has played four times in all competitions ahead of Monday’s visit of Augsburg, with Dortmund looking to claim a fourth successive Bundesliga win....

The Romanians stand atop Group A along with the Giallorossi, having garnered four points from the opening two games. Roma are in decent form, following their 0-0 draw against CSKA Sofia last week by convincingly defeating Fiorentina 2-0 in Serie A on the weekend. Leonardo Spinnazzola and Pedro scored for the Giallorossi, who are now five points behind league leaders AC Milan in eighth place. It’s not been the best of preparations for CFR Cluj, who followed their 1-1 draw against BSC Young Boys last week with a shock 1-2 defeat to Gaz Metan Medias in the league....

That Roman Polanski is a fugitive from the American justice system overshadowed everything in the director’s career—at least until he won the best-director Oscar in 2003 for his haunting Holocaust movie, “The Pianist” (which he couldn’t pick up in person). Zenovich’s film, to be broadcast June 9 on HBO and open in theaters in July, in no way exonerates Polanski. There’s a clip at the beginning of the documentary that shows him cheerfully, and a little creepily, admitting that he likes “young women … I think most men do....

Uso unleashed a vicious attack on Bryan, as Reigns smirked at the camera. After SmackDown came to an end, Roman Reigns posted a tweet reacting to Jey Uso aligning with him. Reigns stated that it was a hard lesson that he’s finally begun to understand.

Romano won in New York for the first time as a big leaguer Tuesday night, pitching into the seventh inning to lift the Cincinnati Reds over the Mets 6-1 in a game delayed by a thunderstorm in the first inning. Romano (7-9) was born in Syosset on nearby Long Island and grew up in Southington, Connecticut. He allowed a run, two hits and three walks while striking out five over six-plus innings to help the Reds snap a three-game skid....

Romantic Killer is an isekai anime that is challenging norms and breaks stereotypes and tropes. It also spreads a very important message regarding a very scary and problematic crime that is treated in a very sloppy fashion in real life, and, unfortunately, Japan is not an exception to that. When Anzu Hoshino, the anime’s antiheroine, is left without her three passions, that is, video games, her cat, Momohiki, and chocolate, for the alleged sake of Japan’s future, the first guy to become part of her real-life otome game is Tsukasa Kazuki....

Their only two reversals came at the hands of Royal Parma Cricket Club and they would be joining their conquerors as the other semi-finalist from the group....

But he wasn’t. Questions about Romney’s religious faith—he is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—have dogged him since he announced his candidacy in February 2007. Mormons, as LDS members are known, are still regarded as oddballs or worse in America; in some conservative Christian circles, Mormons are seen as heretics. (One clear divide in their theologies: Mormons believe that “As man is, God once was; as God is, man may be....

“I think he’s the odds-on favorite to be the next president, if Trump doesn’t run again,” said Joe Gruters, who holds a seat on Florida’s state Senate and chairs its Republican Party, referencing DeSantis in recent comments to NBC News. Gruters, a known Trump supporter, is not the first Republican figure to suggest that DeSantis might lead a successful presidential bid. Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, also a Republican, described DeSantis as “a strong potential presidential candidate in 2024” during a February appearance on Fox News....
