Chess Boxing?
Yes, "Chess Boxing".
Like other great sporting combinations, such as Rice's Beer-Bike, chess boxing combines both the mental and the physical.
Six rounds of chess, five rounds of boxing, alternating.
No, I am not kidding. There are pictures.
They even have an organization, with a fantastic logo (boxing glove with clenched knight).
I'm not totally sure I should tell Liam about this.

Those of us who feel like throwing a punch when we lose a chess game have just found our sport.

Exactly why I don't want to tell Liam about it. He's got the "good sportsmanship" thing down, and I don't want to do anything to fuck it up. He's still kind of hyper, after all.

I hate boxing, and yet - manly and brainy? Ooh baby...
*wondering why this appeals so*

You know I keep seeing this in your recent comments list and thinking 'cheese boxing'.
