And while most of his teammates don't devote the same amount of time to the game as he does, they might be a bit more respectful of his talents on the board if they knew the name of his top playing partner. Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown is Fowler's most ardent adversary when it comes to the game of chess. The two met during Fowler's second year with the Cleveland Browns where Brown was still a consultant to the club. "That's how we got to start playing each other," said Fowler. "Our...
