Chessboxing popularity grows with London show



Chessboxing, the hybrid sport where contestants alternate between rounds of chess and boxing, has come to London.

As the name would suggest in Chessboxing, rounds of chess are alternated with rounds of boxing. They take turns over 11 rounds with four minutes of chess and three of boxing. The action takes place in the ring in full boxing gear, although the gloves are removed for the chess. The competitors also wear earplugs and headphones during the chess rounds to help with concentration.



Chessboxing was created in 2003 by Iepe Rubingh, a Dutch artist.

Paul - message 9.



Initiative is what it's all about



Plus, if you look at Lilli's profile, you will see she puts her occupation as "P.R."



I must agree - she's doing a great job promoting an excellent product.

Nothing to do with PR. Guido is a remarkable chef and delivers what is asked for. Simple, I'm way behind him (metaphorically speaking) coming from one chef to another!

Please forgive me, oh great one. I honestly thought I was responding to Paul's post in the manner in which his post was intended.



My mistake, obviously.



I bow, as always, to your better judgement.

Message 15 - what's up Brins - "it's my ball and I'm going in now"?



You've got some sort of complex man - why do you always think people are "starting on you". I believe you accused AJ of doing the same thing a couple of days ago - you said, I believe, he had some sort of vendetta against you.



If you post provocative messages, what the hell do you think peoples' responses should be? If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
