I seem to recall there is a chess game where you punch each other in the face between moves.

Perhaps similar to what MF played, where you punch the opponent in the face when your King or Queen are threatened, and win by a knockout.

Indeed, there is a game known as 'Chess boxing'

not quite as popular as 'Monopoly noodle wrestling' apparently

I was planning to insert some video of Harry Potter playing Real Chess and mention I went to Hogwarts, but do you know you can't find a copy of that video anywhere due to bloody copyright!!

I don't know what's happening to the internet any more.

I stopped playing chess aged 8 when I beat my headmaster. I convinced myself that I'd peaked and should retire while ahead. It turns out though that he was rubbish at chess and the rest of the class beat him too.

I have two sons that are pretty good players (well if you believe the school club). My other son can kick. He can and does kick any and everything so maybe they can form a "tag chess-kick boxing" team.

My life is a list of great achievements that might have been if I'd not decided I'd peaked too young.

The PRC (c) mobile bed that will drive you to school while still snug under the duvet will one day make me millions as will the educational pill made of the condensed brains of all the teachers in the country.
