Attila Dimedici writes "A Russian man has just been crowned world champion in the sport of chess boxing. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23979955-23109,00.html
Apparently the idea originated in a French comic strip from the early '90s. In 2003 a Dutch artist decided to bring the "sport" to life. The "sport" is played by starting a chess match in the middle of a boxing ring. After four minutes, the chess board is cleared and the opponents box for three minutes. A match consists of six rounds of chess and five rounds of boxing. A match is decided by knockout, checkmate, or points. This just struck me as something that /.ers would get a kick out of."
