bushido_man96 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I saw a spot on SportsCenter on this new thing in the UK. Apparently, you play 2 minutes of chess, and then box for 2 minutes, and then back to the chess board. A winner is declared by checkmate or knockout, whichever comes first.What do you guys think of this? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Thats.. erm ... different. I dont think getting hit in the head for 2 mins would do anything good for my already poor chess skills.

KarateEd Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Seems like two very disparate skill sets. I wonder how that computer Deep Blue would fair in the boxing portion of the contest. Ed Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_ninja Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 It sounds very interesting, it keeps you under pressure, works your mind and physical ability. the best fight is one that doesnt happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 It sounds very interesting, it keeps you under pressure, works your mind and physical ability.That is true. Just think, you box for 2 minutes, then you have to sit down, calm yourself, and try to beat the guy at chess in the next few minutes. All the while you try to move the pieces, your hands are shaking away.Lennox Lewis expressed interest in the sport, and he is an avid chess player as well. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right after the full contact karate or kickboxing:)It would be interesting to see. I suck at chess, though.

lordtariel Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 So then it's not bad sportsmanship if you beat the tar out of your opponent for taking your queen on the last move? There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
