Chess Boxing is a very popular, unknown sport!
The rules are very simple and go like this: A game consists of up to eleven alternating rounds of Boxing and Chess sessions. They starting with a four-minute chess round then three minutes of boxing. Between rounds there is a one minute pause, during this time competitors change their gear. The style that they play chess is speed chess, where each competitor has a total of twelve minutes for the whole game. Combatants may win in 4 different ways, which are: knockout, checkmate, a judge's decision or if the opponent's twelve minutes of chess time runs out. If a contestant does not make a move in the chessround, he will be issued a warning by the referee and he must then make a move within the next 10 seconds. Warnings may eventually result in disqualification. A cartoonist, named Enki Bilal, came up with this game. This game is all together, a game I've never heard of, and honestly, I'm not sure I ever want to hear of it. I give this game a 2 out of 10... Yes, If you are that genius, Bobby Fischer, then this is the one sport you wouldn't be picked last in. Knockout by checkmate in the first round... What a superstar! For everyone else, try to figure out something better to do with your lives.
