Chess Boxing

The first European Chess Boxing Championship took place on October 1st.

Chess boxing is just what it sounds like. Two people get together in a ring, play some chess (two minutes), put on their boxing gloves (one minute), then punch each other in the face (two minutes), then play some more chess… and so on, for eleven rounds.

Sounds fun. I’m sure some of those hustlers in NYC could do well.
