Chess Boxing



Chess boxing is a hybrid sport where competitors alternate between rounds of chess and boxing, with the goal of winning by knockout, checkmate, or if their opponent runs out of time. Matches consist of 11 rounds, alternating between a 4-minute chess round and a 3-minute boxing round, with a 1-minute break between each round. The sport was inspired by a 1992 French comic book and gained real-world traction starting in 2003, even featuring as an exhibition match at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

I got third place in a high school chess tournament one time. I actually am a nerd so I was in the chess club so I used to play a lot in high school. I don't play as much anymore since I learned how to play poker in college but chess was the first game I started playing when I was 6.

Same here! That’s always been my problem with most games like that. I can’t strategize in my head fast enough
i don't find it fun to do that. i rather just react to each move. maybe think one or two moves but to be so formulaic is boring to me.
Bobby Fischer would win the chess game and then James would knock his teeth through the back of his head. The question is who is more useful?
thank you sir.

bobby would beat me but then i would eat his wife's ass so who wins.
