Gee Whillickers Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Just when you thought the world of competitive events couldn't get any weirder, they did. I give you: Chessboxing Yes. I said Chessboxing. And it's exactly what it sounds like. Alternating rounds of two guys playing chess, then boxing. Winner is decided by either checkmate or TKO. Okay, who wants to work this into a story?? Quote Link to comment
colinian Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 That's just way too weird. Colin Quote Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 What's next? Sex boxing? Chest boxing? Quote Link to comment
Chris James Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Boxing? Hmm, no thank you. Chess? Well yes, a thoughtful game. But I prefer a much more elegant sport that combines strength with talent and this certainly has that appeal. It doesn't hurt that he is such a handsome lad: Quote Link to comment

C Then I suppose you never told the undergrads at the University they should sign up for underwater basketweaving for an easy 'A.' Somehow I have always sensed a little of the rebel in you, Cole...a quiet prankster perhaps? Or do you just bake three and twenty blackbirds in a pie? :) Quote Link to comment

EleCivil Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Awesome. Also, here's rollercoaster chess: There's a whole page of it here: http://xkcd.com/chesscoaster/ Quote Link to comment
Gee Whillickers Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I've always gotten a kick out of those roller coaster photos. I've seen some pretty hilarious things that people have somehow snuck onto the rollercoaster and managed to get set up at the exact right moment. Quote Link to comment
