    Chessboxing

    So, you think you have seen it all. MMA, NHB, blah, blah, those are nothing. This is the real deal, the ultimate marriage of brain and brawn. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there is a new sport call Chess boxing.

    I can't wait to see Kasparov square off against Lennox Lewis. How about deep blue vs Lennox?

    Wow. Is this a hoax?

    How are they going to find the athletes? I'd imagine the available pool would be very small.

    Talking Here're some other "Federations"

    Russian Poker, Sambo and volka. So you will have a card round, a wrestle round and a drink round champion. How about strip poker and wrestling but only teams of married couple (no offense but no g@y union though) can play?

    Now if we have GO and push hand contest, we will the cure for insomia for sure!

    No, I don't think it is a hoax. Many be a publicity stunt but not a hoax. I heard it over the radio and "radio is always right."

    Mantis108,

    glad you like it. I thought this story was worthy of its own thread on a MA forum.

    There will be 2 outcomes.

    1. Both a chess teacher and a boxing coach needed.

    2. Or the chess club needs to add boxing lessons.

    Or the boxing club needs to add chess lessons.

    So the best boxer and the best chess player will be both needed.

    Das ist wunderbar oder ausgezeichnet.

    is chinese chess easier than american?


    Wait a second, I don't really see anything chinese on this. But I think I would be better Monopoly boxing(multiple opponents, resulting in a free-for-all).
