Personality, Game, and Term Puzzle (Posted on 2022-09-11) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The name of a very famous personality in history has precisely 5 letters in the first name, and exactly 4 letters in the last.

An anagram of the letters in this person's last name spells out the name of a game and the letters in the first name can be rearranged to spell out a term used in this game.

Determine the full name of this personality. What is the name of the game and the term used in it?
