An article from BBC news about a sport known as "chess boxing"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7084494.stm

thoughts? Approval? Disapproval? I for one am more than a little curious about the level of play

Wow, that must be a hard sport. Imagine taking one in the head and sitting down for a chess match with bells ringing in your ears.

I think some other sport would be better, but it is still interesting.

Andrea boxes again tonight. Not chess boxing, just regular boxing. Her opponent is quite an athlete, Andrea should probably just try to get out of there without getting messed up.

Andrea reacting to her 5 rounds with Michelle Khare. It was an impressive performance by both of them, especially given that Andrea isn't really an athlete like Michelle is (I think she was a professional cyclist).
