I have posted some photos here on chess.com from last night's awesome ChessBoxing at Scala, London UK.

"KINGS OF THE RING" HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE ELIMINATION SERIES featuring:

  • Sergio "The Phoenix" Leveque v Mark "The Hammer" Pilkington
  • Nick "The Showstopper" Cornish v Matt "Crazy Arms" Read
  • Chris "The Ventriloquist" Powell v Jorge "Huggy Bear" Crespo
With commentary by GM Ray Keene OBE and some very entertaining X-rated commentary by IM Malcolm Pein.

I also put some video clips on YouTube:

Video Clip showing the transition from a Chess round to a Boxing round

Video Clip showing IM Malcom Pein reminding the rowdy crowd about the 'fianchetto'

Video Clip showing Jorge "Huggy Bear" Crespo losing - by timing out - to Chris "The Ventriloquist" Powell
