Chess Boxing

October 8, 2008

Beat your opponent to a pulp via boxing or chess. You gotta have brains and brawn. This sport is unbelievable!

According to Wikipedia, “Chess boxing is a hybrid sport which combines the sport of boxing with games of chess in alternating rounds. Chess boxing fights have been organized since early 2003. The sport was started when Dutch artist Iepe Rubingh, inspired by fictional descriptions of the sport in the writing of Enki Bilal, organized actual matches. The sport has become increasingly popular since then. To succeed players must be both skilled chess players and skilled boxers.”
