Alternating combat sport
Chess boxing is a hybrid sport alternating rounds of chess and boxing—competitors must excel at both mental strategy and physical combat.
Matches can be won by checkmate, knockout, or points.
The sport emerged in the early 2000s, inspired by a French comic book, and has developed a small but devoted following: The chess boxing championship drew an unexpectedly large crowd.
