1st Chessboxing Worldchampionship PT2

[speebyda]

Fucking stupid.

[fuzzyfurdolls]

I AM DAVE! YOGNAUT!!!!

[cmaglimable]

the boxing is of an exceptionally low quality lol.

[porkypine1888]

oh i love this

[mokeymoc]

I AM DAVE! YOGNAUT

[SuperPeristilo]

Really nice! So fun!

[Jbar1011]

WHERE DO I SIGN UP?!

[tombeveridge1]

I AM DAVE! YOGNAUGHT

[ermalkoci]

Is this for real? I'd love the meet the guy that came up with the idea ... Man this looks stupid!

[TaffTalk]

@ermalkoci What? WHAT! This looks like the single greatest sport ever invented by man!

[inkmaster12]

AWKWARD.



[turnsout689]

I got an idea, bunjee extreme ironing!

[Dainslaif]

To be fair - he just took a LOT of blows to the head. That'd probably throw anyone off their game.

[dragon91027]

Not very strong chess players. White had an easy victory!  With one minute left a strong player would win this position for the first player!

[mudyshox]

what the fucking fuck

[Ariel1Dominguez]

now make it mixed martial chess style.

[laxedskater009]

No brain, no gain...

[ehrehck]

So THIS is what Wu-Tang was talking about....

[anthonypattontuhs]

I was sent by the yogpod. Ps... I AM DAVE! YOGNAUT!!!!!!!!

[27danielDM]

WTF is this? They box like kangaroos! -___-

[xvizemx]

lol



[henkiskwaad]

I edited this video! check out the rest of my things on the account of this comment

[worldchessboxing]

@henkiskwaad great work! we are still very happy with it!

[henkiskwaad]

@worldchessboxing nice to see it online! I was in the US this month listening to news radio and suddenly the topic of Chessboxing came up. They had a reporter visit an event. Great to see the sport growing!

[HumanPuddingPgh]

This is an insult to the noble game of chess. The chess game is irrelevant to the boxing match, unless one gets knocked upside the head so much that it effects his cognitive ability. Not even humorous.

[unak78]

@HumanPuddingPgh That's kind of the point,... the ability to retain cognitive ability in the face of both physical exertion and sometimes excessive pain and injury. It combines the physical and mental and, imo, anyone who concentrates on one to the detriment of the other in their lives is an incomplete person. That's why I like the idea that this sport purveys.

[sky1husser01]

wtf

[OhWowLovelyXx0]

does it REALLY make a difference in the game if your playing chess with boxing gloves on???

[pihovkin]

жесть

[Grodjaegere]

what is that language? nederlands?

[onlyhardstyl3]

@Grodjaegere yes it is. (Dutch)

[onlyhardstyl3]

@Grodjaegere yes it is (dutch language)

[SailorBarsoom]

This looks like something Doc Savage would take up, just to keep himself in trim.

[parmetd]

I like that they show their heart rate.

[jadiyjoss]

I like ches, but I don´t like boxing... I don´t like chesbxing, :)

[HumanPuddingPgh]

@jadiyjoss Some things just shouldn't be mixed.

[Fabzil]

Win on a timeout ? Beurk!

[Changorangutang]

Whats the song that plays at the end called again?

[raoulhery]

but the match is allways decided by the chess part! what happen if someone checkmate but get knock out

[LethalSystem]

haha. so there is 3 ways to win? K.O, Check-mate, timer and a draw of course. This sure will fuck with your brain.

[MrPureKain]

that's the real world example of multiclass fighter/wizard, pay attention powergamers

[rcnrcn927]

Winning a game that involves chess and boxing on a clock is pointless.

[maxgunn555]

@rcnrcn927 it's pointless in teh sense that if they were put in either a boxing or a chess match they'd lose both probably. however a jack of all trades in general isnt pointless is it?

[cursedswordsman]

Am game of chess is like a swordfight. You must think first, before you move.

[ImRaichu]

que locaso ese modo de ajedrez ;D

[noxure]

@Royisinabox A ranking system to calculate your relative playing strength.

[imusthavewhisky]

@Royisinabox lmgtfy.com/?q=elo+chess&l=1

[Fupper16]

I would play the Caro-Kann and lock up the position. Then, come boxing time ... BAM BAM BAM

[worldchessboxing]

@Fupper16 sounds good to us!

[mcpartridgeboy]

@Fupper16 why would you play a passive opening if you are agressive ?

[Fukkensaved]

@Fupper16

The only way the Caro-Kann locks up the position is in the advance variation, which is a line played by white. The main-line Caro-Kann presents very dynamic positions in the Caro-Slav structure.

[quaddrew4]

Gee, and I used to think that chess wasn't even a sport.

[LuxusOhr]

power mobility coordination

[dallasgambit]

I'd guess by the looks of things about 1700 1800 elo rating if their lucky witch is not very good at all and their even suck more at boxing holy crap man

[yellowman88]

are these guys good chess players? what rating woudl they be?

[imusthavewhisky]

@yellowman88 there's a part 1 to this video. in it, the announcer says they have ELOs between 1500 and 1600, i don't remember the exact values

[captainjacobsparrowl]

this just confuses me.

[dudeson818]

does anyone else think the UFC should do something like this for charity or something?

[Gamer2010Guy]

There is a new Chess site coming out GambitKing you can reserve your username now its pretty cool. Check it out!

[dopemansam]

A game of chess, is like a sword fight. You must think first, before you move!

[RoadToAnywhere]

Check our the hysterical CB ringside announcer in RoadToanywhere

[cjgone2]

If they were using Fischer clocks, he would have had 5 second intervals between moves and won!!!

[yihate]

True test of man...? brains and bronze...?

[SaltShakerIsME]

This is sooo... boring. Both the boxing and the chess.

[midnitemover123]

...at 2:52 when White loses on time, black doesn't have ''mating material'', (a knight by itself can't mate unless the opponents king is sufficiently boxed in. This is normally a draw in ''normal'' tournament chess. They must use different rules......

[cp225]

Fuck the camera angles at around 40 seconds! Voting down.

[sparlinator]

I want to see Lennox Lewis and Josh Waitzkin try this....that would be entertaining. These guys are average chess players and looked like average boxers as well.

[ouchimdead]

ill beat both of them in chess.... then run away from the fight

[plaspas]

lol!!!!!!

[tretytretytretytrety]

For sure, they are fifteen hundred !!!

[Stinkyduiker]

@tretytretytretytrety

Yeah for sure lol, that last chess round... 5-10 seconds to march the white king up to b7, then you have 40 seconds at least to mate a bare black king. I'm horrible at blitz, but with white and 50 seconds on the clock I'd beat kasparov 1000 out of 1000 games, no problem.

I'd probably get knocked out in boxing against both of them though, gotta hand them that.

[AmateurSurgeonThe3rd]

Apparently Lennox Lewis plays chess

[cubis]

would it be easier to teach a great chessplayer to box adequately or a great boxer to play chess adequately?

[Zergeh]

@cubis Depends on the people. If you've got a really strong guy that's dumb as hell, or a really smart guy who's extremely weak, it'd be equally hard.

[sproutmanv2]

This is fuckin weird.

[DoinThupidThings]

lol what they should do is include fish and chip eating and denture scrubbing and then it would really be a British sport

[Hawokki]

I was totally: WTF, when I heard about "Chess-Boxing" LOL. I tought it was a joke, but it sounds very intresting :P

[Slaying350]

I'd love to do this!

I have a black belt in karate and I am very good at chess I came first in a chess tournament with over 100 people participating in it.

[wingfort25]

They should make a new sport . Drinking contest/boxing . I bet it would be much more popular then this . Let's see who will go KO first.

[ozoshah]

@ sepillo: gay sport? are you an expert of the matter?

[sepillo]

gay sport ever

[itlancer]

sepillo sepillo... ahahahahah you are a c.l.o.w.n. little brain.

[KonungurAfPina]

They're not good at boxing, but it is fun to see everyday guys boxing

[killratoss]

they should just play chess their boxing isnt even worth watching or doing.

[Injuis]

You never know man. Maybe if more money is involved you'll see the more interest and then better players.

[123megakickass]

Just so every one knows this is a real sport I'm not sure if this was a real match though.

[maddes111]

I'm sorry that guys can't box well. They don't cover their head good. If you box against a good fighter it doesn't matter wheather amateur or pro lights out directly!

[1oneFirst]

смешные люди =)

[samadoshi]

my English is horrible .... but no one realized is that the bonds were very red just getting the blood flow to the boy in a game some time disadvantage.

[RoadToAnywhere]

Interesting. and try this Mixed Up Martial Arts - ChessBoxing -Brainy Fight Night

[whiteshields1830]

shouldnt mike tyson pwn this game? lose a few peices but come boxing time....pow down and out.

[worldchessboxing]

If Mike Tyson wants to join the game, w'ill get Vitali Klitschko to fight him and then chess will be a decisive factor

[whiteshields1830]

lol he might almost kill his chess peices down to a king and pawn, but come boxing time...lets see who decides then lol

[johnkaighin]

@worldchessboxing

mike vs vitali??

i dout vitali will win..

[ml497]

@johnkaighin

maybe if he checkmates fast enough :P

[johnkaighin]

@ml497

i dont think so...

mike n vitaly are both very dull lol

[CerebralPrince10]

@worldchessboxing I bet Mike Tyson would knock him out in the first round, before Klitschko could force a checkmate on the board

[carbonfiberfan]

@worldchessboxing or wladimir

[parmetd]

@whiteshields1830

He'd get scholar mated though...

[parmetd]

Did the "World Championship Chessboxing" match REALLY get decided by flagging in blitz in a completely lost position? Kinda ends the 'sport' before it started no...?

[adipiscor]

@whiteshields1830  Unless he gets checkmated in 4 moves XD

[Benrockn247]

@whiteshields1830 Tyson would get disqualified for eating the king.

[AP28purplejesus]

FAKE

[DGio8778]

it's a real sport, with real championship

[viharsarok]

I never thought the very rules of a sport could make me rofl.

[starfre77]

less pain, more brain:)

[dja1312]

holy carp!this sport is real? i thought the guy was pulling our leg

[Konoton01]

@dja1312

No joke. Real sport.

[dobsondale]

as if a fucking boxer could be good at a true mans game like chess !!!! hahahaha

[w4rrior94]

brains and brawn ftw!!!

[TheDawgDEANO]

if you suck at boxing you wana hope youre fucking fast at winning in chess...

[Heinekenberg]

vice-versa too, but less pain =P

[Konoton01]

@TheDawgDEANO

Actually, most world class chess boxers are chess masters.

[viharsarok]

Boxing is more important because you won't lose in 2 minutes even to Kasparov, but you will be knocked out in 10 seconds if you suck at boxing.

[260191894]

"Tell your queen I say hi!"

[glenritchie]

This sport is huge here in Vancouver. It's underground though due to lack of first aid attendants and therefor city council will not give them a permit.

It's made some people quite well off though. Nobody around here will forget the crazy antics of Grandmaster Jeff, Christmas Eve 2006 when he was sponsored by Charlie's SportAnnex down on Marine blvd.

After that event, he went on to make millions in Infomercials.

[Gettles]

This has to be the only professional sport league that survives just on people saying "There is no fucking way this is real"

[hurikai]

Can we get whole matches instead of highlights?

And give us a good view of the chess the whole way through, either with an OTB shot or a computerised board, with profile shots of both player's faces in the corner.

[fatmanontherun]

wow later on there will be chess kickboxing and chess jitsu xD.Honestly this looks more fun then straight fighting,I should do this in my tournaments xD

[LSDCracker]

Awesome sport!!!

[jainblu]

Chessboxing, interesting... straining mind and body alternately... hmm

[EMANCP8]

Boxing=a frivolous checkers game whereas BJJ is truly a chess game.

[2xnkote]

spoken like a person who has probs done bjj for about a month and done no boxing at all

[EMANCP8]

Ha! You err in your assumption amigo!! I boxed for several years in a warehouse (Packaging) and would still get the clobbering on you with my hands. As far as my BJJ skills, I have actually been training for a whole 2 months and am confident that I could easily strangle you to sleep with my toes buddy :0 Thank you please!

[2xnkote]

hahaha lol if only more people had a sense of humour :D

[filipenis96]

your an idiot.

[supasonicman]

BJJ is ugly, enjoy humping sweaty hobos.

[EMANCP8]

Ugly, maybe but very effective. Sweaty hobos are my favorite!

[supasonicman]

Well, what can one say? You need someone to practice on don't you?

[GreenLulz]

what is this lol

[VladTheImpalerAltLP]

what the actual fuck?

[CartoonZack]

is this a joke?

[gtamateur]

no chessboxing is a tru sport lol

[crazychikn]

mike tyson could be world champion at chess

[tassay]

no mike tyson wouldnt become world champion because the klitschlos are hobby chess players

[mikedjmix]

How does this work??

What counts more the game or the fight?

[unak78]

The fight can end by KO or checkmate, whichever comes first.  Or you can run out of time of your allotted chess time or the fight can go to decision.

[Underseer1]

The point of this sport is not to be Rybka.

The point is to do what you can in chess after you get punched in the head a couple times. There will obviously never be any brilliant endgames.

[jclarkson07]

This is the stupidest idea for a sport I've EVER seen! I mean what next? Kung Fu Monopoly? Get a grip

[rayc916]

Thats actually....A Good idea....

Haha.

[gqmighty]

well that isnt a comparison..because monopoly sucks..and so does kung fu..but chess and boxing are the ultimate evolution of the human combat in both its mental and physical manifestions...

[SailorBarsoom]

@jclarkson07

KarateGo

AkidoShogi

[diracologia]

What the hell the white king was doing in the first file??? Very bad chess player. In the end game you need put your king to fight.

[mysocalledtube]

gosh, this is such a cool sport!! i wish there were more info out there about it

[fireking9934]

whats next.....

Monopoly MMA

[ronaldinhoca]

wtf you cant compare monopoly to chess. dumb ass chess is a sport monopoly is a game

[chaixiong1]

WTF is this? did Dumb and Dumber get retarded or what?!

[remludar]

Hey chaixiong1, Why don't you elaborate on exactly why you think this is a dumb sport. You may find that gets you more support for your point of view as opposed to just saying something similar to "this is stupid"

[chaixiong1]

i think it's dumb though. fighting and then playing chess! idk how one can move a piece after getting hit like crazy! oh well :P

[remludar]

chaixiong1, that's the exact reason for the sport's existence. Do you not see how it's entertaining to see people attempt to do 2 sports that seem to contradict one another?

[chaixiong1]

i see it but i think its a dumb combination but it may be to me but not others. thats how things are, opinions

[sutchsteve]

your opinion is wrong

[chaixiong1]

that's my opinion. tell me what is right and wrong? there is no right and wrong, just an idea.

[comedianpinoy]

bwahaha...it should have been a draw..black has only knight and a king lol hehe...

so funny :D

[retardwithbanjo]

finally i can beat my chess computer at something

[jetsamjetsam]

no you cant, comp's made of metal

[nguyentrongnhan]

crazy sport =.=

[danielherreragarza]

the perfect sport!

[Boffinbox]

11 rounds.

4 minutes of chess

2 minutes of boxing

[Anuo79]

This is a invention from a european comic Book (La Femme Piege, Enki Bilal)

[CapeandCowl]

This is beyond stupid.

[intindse]

you are beyond stupid

[uneos]

I like how they tell you their heart rates.

[Josephbm91]

Playing chess well while that exhausted and on a timer has to be insanely hard.

[fullmontis]

losing for time loss is probably the most humiliating way to lose...

[Retubetard]

ChessBoxing ... lol

Why not Everest climbing race with hotdog eating contest every 1000 feet ...

[LordWedgewood]

haha isnt there an "extreme ironing" involving climbing a mountain or something?

[zattano]

????

[SliferxD]

are they for real? IS THIS for real?

[Vincentvanh1]

don't know if this is fake or not but they suck at playing chess. At 2:08 white has to take the pion with his horse g3-e4.

He could take blacks pion and covers his own.

[CUB3FR34K]

pion ?? or pawn

[z3ziman]

dude...... try playin while exhausted after a boxing match? can u think well?

[mefoolu]

this is ridiculous

[dre9292]

i thought they were going to punch eachother over the table while theye were playing lol

[b4revenge]

same hahaha that would have been so much better, mindless violence, ahhhhhh........

[crazychikn]

lol that would be awesome, try and play chess whilst punching the shit out of each other. if board gets pushed over then its just all out war
