Chess boxing is a sport which combines the number one thinking sport, chess, with the number one fighting sport, boxing. t L: the two contestants have eleven alternating rounds of chess and boxing. They play chess for four minutes, have one minute to put on their boxing gloves and then box for two minutes before having another minute to get ready for the chess board again. Each competitor has a total of twelve minutes on the chess clock and as soon as the time runs out, the game is over.
The idea first appeared in a 1992 cartoon drawn by
Yugoslavian cartoonist Enki Bilal . Inspired by Bilal's
book a Dutch artist, lepe BT Rubingh, decided to bring the
idea to life. Rubingh is now head of the World Chess
Boxing Organisation with the motto: Fighting is done in
the ring and wars are waged on the board. He is also the
world champion. Не organised and won the first world
championship in Amsterdam in 2003 and two years later
the Ist European Chess Boxing Championship took place
in Berlin. Since then, the sport has spread beyond Europe
and there are international tournaments as far apart as
Japan and the USA.
Combining the world's most brain challenging and brain
damaging sports may seem crazy but is it. Top chess
players have to be very fit and, like top athletes, many of
them follow strict exercise and diet routines. Chess boxing
demands the best of competitors both physically and
mentally so it fulfils the classical ideal of a healthy mind in
a healthy body (mens sana in сorporе sano) It's possibly
the perfect combination of brains and strength and it's
definitely not a sport for the weak or cowardly.
