Imagine this:

Playing intense music while fighting somebody which is +1000 points higher.

Do people also get rating points for fighting.... ? 

I mean playing chess.

Definitely football, soccer. Positional superiorities, tactics, lecture of the position, weak squares, diagonals. It suits very well strategically

This makes a lot of sense, actually.

Swimming? 

Or, to play chess better, you have to combine chess playing with chess study Tongue Out.

Chess + Strip Poker

 

Man vs Woman, 12 blitz games, each game you win you get a card, no card to either player for a draw.  After 12 games, whoever can make the better poker hand with the cards they won, the other player has to take an article off.  Play 12 more games, taking the same steps, etc.

I once made the mistake of going skinny dipping on a hillside loch, the tourist path ran right past it and I had to dive down to escape their gaze, only occasionaly would you see my two bum cheeks rising to the surface with swan like gracefulness and disappearing back into the depths below.

How about strip-chess? If a peice is captured, oponent must remove an article of clothing and check-mate results in... Of course, player selection would be of utmost importance! By the way, boxing combines the least well with chess:a peaceful game vs a violent sport...

Anything which involves exercise would be good for chess players.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1dcxMu_Zk8 Jennifer and Greg Shahade.

Although what I would find interesting is to have a round robin tournament played in a simul fashion--everyone plays everyone at the same time.
