It must be a nose game

You can win by knocking out your opponent or topping him at chess — a victory at either ends the match.Sooo.....basically you don't have to know a darn thing about chess if you have a really good uppercut. Just bluff your way through the first 4 minutes of chess playing and when it switches over to the first boxing part, knock the other guys teeth down his throat and you're the chess boxing champion! :D

Another example of the devolution of the human race .. where's an ELE when you want one!

Intellectual boxers. Now that's an oxymoron. :D

Full Contact chess. Ya gotta love it.

[Strider]

It kind of reminds me of the old video game Battle Chess, but just a little.

Sounds stupid to me..

That's how I used to beat my little brother at chess. A couple of quick uppercuts and he'd be bawling and I'd checkmate him.

:D
