Evo novoga debilskog sporta, i kao obicno, bez iznenadjenja, Hrvat je u prvom planu... Imaju slike na linku... Ja bih se rado okusao s Tysonom i vjerovatno dobio... "Knockout" u prvoj rundi Ovaj sport je savrsen za naseg Tomasa posto je dozvoljeno da upotrijebi ruke ali nisam siguran da bi do druge runde dosao posto nema nista u glavi...

COLOGNE, Germany
The rules of chessboxing are such:
Two competitors face each other in 11 alternating rounds, six of chess, five of boxing. A bout begins with chess, which is played on a board placed directly in the middle of the ring. Each round of chess lasts four minutes. After each chess round, the bell sounds, and workmen remove the chessboard for a two-minute round of boxing, the gloves go back on, the punching recommences. Participants win by way of knockout, checkmate, referee's decision, or if his opponent exceeds the allotted total of 12 minutes for an entire match on the chessboard. Those are the basics, but they do little to answer the overriding question: Why?
Zoran Mijatovic bends through the ring ropes and takes a seat at a nearby chessboard, where he battles Rubingh for a few minutes before stepping back into the ring for further sparring. Mijatovic, 28, a Croatian, spends his days welding ships along the Adriatic Sea. He is dark-haired and burly, and he expounds freely on whatever comes to mind. "No drinking, no women," he gasps, reflecting on the difficulties of his monastic training as he takes a quick gulp of water. "It's very, very difficult. When I finish, I will be very happy. I need some beautiful experience."
