CHESSBOXING

Can you play chess with boxing gloves in a boxing ring.

Yes, you heard me right. In the boxing ring. Well, it's
chessboxing

That hybrid psycho-physical sport called Chessboxing is an

indoor sport and is played in a boxing ring.
Chessboxing requires two players who take turns competing in
boxing and chess.
The First they play chess for four minutes. So-called speed
chess. They wear headphones and earplugs on their heads for
easier concentration and not to get the help of the audience.
In a round of chess, players must not intentionally waste time
and the referee tells them that they must make a move in the
next 10 seconds. Multiple warnings may result in
disqualification. After four minutes of thinking and playing
chess, the fight begins for three minutes. They put on boxing
gloves and start fighting according to the normal rules of
boxing. After receiving and giving blows for three minutes, the
competitors take off their gloves and again use their smarter
side to play chess. So they alternate 11 times, 6 times chess and
five 5 times boxing as 11 rounds with one minute of rest
between rounds. One chessboxing match can last 11 rounds,
but the match can be won by checkmate or knockout. But if the
round of chess is tied, then it is looked at which of the
competitors had more points in the boxing rounds. But if the
boxing rounds are evenly matched then the one who had black
pieces in chess will be the winner.
Because whites always make the first move in chess and have
an advantage.
As you can see, chessboxing is a combination of martial arts and
sports that require concentration and wit. After a few chess and
boxing changes, it becomes very exhausting for the competitors
so it is difficult to be a professional in this sport.
