Boxing Chess

Is a hybrid sport that combines chess and boxing in alternating rounds, invented by French artist and filmmaker Enki Bilal in his comic book "Froid Équ, ateur"

In 1992 the first real chess boxing event was organized by the Dutch artist Ebe Ruping in 2003

The sport alternates between boxing and chess matches after each round - waiting for a badge or a knockout to determine the match

The chess match begins with two people, with a maximum of 11 rounds, starting with a four-minute chess tour followed by two minutes of boxing.
