Think Out Of The Box


The kind of sports that have come up, oh my .. its not funny. It's like one of those Value Meals @ Mc Donalds' --> Mix & match and start selling agressively.

This morning I read about a new one ( to my knowledge at least ) called Chess Boxing. Yes. Read it again if you think you lost the link. The sport is governed by the World Chess Boxing Organisation (WCBO), whose motto is "Fighting is done in the ring and wars are waged on the board."

The first round is that of chess ( 4 minutes) . Two guys dressed in their boxers sitting at a table pondering over the possibility of a check mate drawing closer & the second round ( 2 minutes ) ; giddy up and get going on your feet, with a couple 'o extra hard hitting jabs and uppercuts for the queen your opponent just captured. A total of 11 alternating rounds follow in this manner.

What's the point of all this you ask? --- To train people in the no. 1 thinking sport coupled with the no 1. fighting sport, and in the combination of both.

Hmmm... let me think.

You should play the computer game "BattleChess". It rocks. The pieces beat the crap out of each other.
