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!

Intellectual boxers. Now that's an oxymoron.

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

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.
