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.Comment

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.Comment
