Chess Boxing?

Here's a chess boxing video.

I love it when the announcer says, "It seems that Iepe has a defensive tactic in mind because he has all his pieces on the first three rows !"

That's good advice.  I never move any of my pieces past the third rank.  It's just not safe out there !

It does not entertain me, but I have 0 problem with people pursuing it. Its harder then it looks. boxing is boring to me :\ MMA is where its at.

Thanks for that link Anthony.

The only possible benefit I can see to this Chessboxing thing is...for girls who might want to meet/see chessplayers who aren't totally uncoordinated dweeby unathletic dorks.  ::cough::
