Kirsan Ilyumzhinov as a chess boxer!

[yowzephyr]

They're pulling their punches. Kirsan is used to fakery tho. He says he's been abducted by extraterrestrials, for example.

[TheTrueResponder]

I guess the boxing is just fun how so ever but the focus is on the chess game.

[NixxerJixxerWixxer]

Fake-ass shit, Kirsan is a rich dude, he obviously paid his opponent not to punch

[audiofiel]

That's so fake.

Why is this man the president of the FIDE?

[jsouce]

You would resign if you were losing without any hope of winning, or too tired or exhausted to continue, there are lots of reasons to resign, none very good though.

[gmwdim]

Why would you resign in a chess boxing match? You could at least try to knock your opponent out in the next round.

[hermanoarnoldo]

So true! Never thought about that.
