Recently I found myself in a nightclub in Berlin on a  Saturday night, in the venue for the ‘Light Heavyweight Worldchampionship Chessboxing’ match. Yes folks, the ‘World Championship Chess Boxing’ match. Where German policeman, ‘Anti-Terror’ Frank Stoldt, after a tough battle, took the title in the 7th round against American David ‘Double D’ Depto, by checkmate.
A grilling match, a packed venue, enthralled spectators.

Brains, braun, the whole friggin package.
And for those of you enticed enough to enlist, they’re always looking for new recruits.
Chess boxers wanted.
