xoB sends this from a German images site. The image isn't the mind-boggling thing this time, it's the very notion of what they are doing. The official cap:
Tihomir "Tigertad" Titschko of Bulgaria (l.) and Andreas "D" Schneider of Germany fought to become the first European champion in chess-boxing on Saturday in Berlin. The new sports discipline, which was developed from an art project, requires competitors to alternately play chess for four minutes at a time, then throw punches for two minutes. The first player to knockout his opponent or checkmate him wins. Titschko was declared European champion after beating Schneider in chess.
It's a bizarre and lovely idea, and I hope it catches on. What I wonder is whether the strategy includes a lot of head shots during the boxing section, to befuddle your opponent by bashing his brain around a little. That would be similar to strategy for various drinking games where part of the object is to get your opponent blotto drunk so s/he can't strategize against you.
