I thought there should be a sport where both the mind and the body is measured at once. So the winner of the event is who gets the highest scores in BOTH chess and boxing....

So, say one person wins at chess, and the other wins at boxing, is that a tie?

No. We give points according to where they finish among the competitors. We add both events ranks, and the player with the less points wins...

what if you get a free punch with every piece you take, then the winner can be decided by regular chess rules, or decided by who loses consciousness first

I thought a better one: In a 10 rounds boxmatch they play a 3 minutes speedchess in every break.... All rounds and chessgames are counted as win/tie/lose and ranked accordingly...

During the boxing match, you have 10 seconds to yell out the chess moves. So its like punch punch block "queen takes bishop on b8" clobber slam "night to c4 check" punch punch block, ect.

i was golden gloves....i also enjoy a good chess matchup.

hmm..i like the idea.

Now let's say chessboxing really takes off. Would the world champion be more of a muscular boxer, or a geekish chessplayer?

A muscular geek.

probably the boxer.
chess is easier to learn than knowing how to get punched in the face for a living.

Mohamad Ali played chess.

How about cheeseboxing? After every round, the winner gets to eat a different kind of cheese.

Bill Gates throws airpunches... It is not the ability but the level of skill, that determines the winner.

ok so lets say if someone looses a pone, he gets a punch in face once.
and if he looses a knight, he gets 20 punches in face
and if the other opponent kills a knight, than he get to give out punches...

until one of them wins
