Chess + Boxing = An actual sport
The idea is to get two players to face off against each other in a boxing ring, in full boxing attire and have them have a go at it. Once the first round ends, a chess board is introduced in the middle of the ring, where the same opponents who had been trying to knock each other out, sit and start a game of chess.
"We bring a combination of the number one thinking sport with the number one fighting sport... 6 rounds of chess and 5 rounds of boxing", says Chess boxing founder Iepe Rubingh. Most sports require brains as well as brawn; in Chess boxing they are pitted against each other."Fighting and thinking at the same time, it's very hard", says a fan of the growing craze.
The match ends either with a Knockout or a Checkmate.
