I thought it would be cool to find some video of famous chessplayers doing other stuff they are really good at.

But geez, do you think there's a video of Smyslov singing, or Taimonov playing piano? I cant find any. (Found a Taimanov one, but only still pics)

So, who can come up with something interesting?

Only one rule, first post about Josh whatsisface doing karate loses. My game, My rules :)

Cool, goldendog.

The 1st link doesn't work for me, just gives a blank page, but the 2nd one is good :)

Mostly, Kasparov spends his free time being attacked by flying appendages.

Wow. That was hilarious.

I'm not sure if this will fit in here but I thought of it because Fischer was so all-consumed with Chess. There is a photo on the internet somewhere of Fischer and GM Larry Evans in a swimming pool with a Chess Board between them ( the  board is on some sort of a floating device ). I always thought that they had come up with a real fun way to play Chess.
