Aside from the running, jumping and combat disciplines, most sports make little or no sense. Even soccer, most basic of the team games, is in many ways weird and arbitrary; why shouldn't we be allowed to use our hands?

Still, some sports are much stranger than others, and they don't come much more peculiar than chessboxing. Inspired by a cult comic book, bouts last 11 rounds, six of chess (four minutes each) and fi ve of boxing (two minutes). Wins come by checkmate, knockout, points decision or missing the time limit in a chess round, with the idea being to train individuals who can think and fight in equal measure.

The curious hybrid is gaining a moderate following in Europe and the US, and has lofty goals indeed. The sport's creator, conceptual artist Iepe Rubingh, told ESPN.com: "The future chessboxer will be a grandmaster and a professional boxer. Chessboxing could even solve the problem in the Middle East. I want to hold a chessboxing match between an Israeli and a Palestinian, and the winner will get to decide what happens to Israel

  • Man, you're good.

    And I guess you already know this, but when people get jealouse they start to loose their mind and act like kids.

    So yeah, you don't have to give a shiit what those kids are saying and keep doing what you're good on, and keep doing what those kids will never be able to do. Those kids can only dream about having such talent, so let them blame all they want, and besides, they are raising your comment count, so I guess you'll have to thank them for helping you become famouse. 8)
