Encyclopedic overview

A chess boxing match in Berlin, 2008

Chess boxing, or chessboxing, is a hybrid sport that combines chess and boxing. Two combatants play alternating rounds of blitz chess and boxing until one wins by checkmate or knockout. It is also possible to win by time penalty as in normal chess, and by boxing decision if there is a draw in the chess round.
