 In Chess boxing you have two ways to beat someone down !

TomBreakfast

I suppose mentally and physically!

How about computer chessboxing?  Or computer chess kickboxing?

MrHARVEY

Interesting thought . When participants are involved in a game of Chess it's often said they are "playing". One almost never hears Boxers described as "playing" while boxing.

I like the idea of having to be proficient mentally as well as martially.  A lot of people can't compete on both levels.  Having said that, I prefer grappling or MMA to boxing.
