DESCRIPTION:

The Šančių Sporto Centras in Kauno, Lithuania, initiated International Chessboxing Day. Chessboxing is gaining popularity nationwide, with several tournaments played onsite to mark the day.

Chessboxing is a hybrid sport combining two traditional disciplines: chess and boxing, with competitors facing each other in alternating rounds. This unique sport tests its contestants' physical prowess and mental agility, as they need to be adept at boxing and chess to succeed. Players must maintain their concentration and strategic thinking under the physical duress of boxing, making it a unique test of mind-body coordination.

A chessboxing match consists of 11 three-minute rounds: six-speed chess and five boxing. Scoring a knockout, checkmate, judge decision, or exceeding the time limit in chess determines the winner of each round.

Dutch artist Iepe Rubingh (August 17, 1974-May 8, 2020) invented the sport in the early 2000s, inspired by French artist and filmmaker Enki Bilal's comic book "Froid Équateur." It has grown into a recognized competition with a world championship and is very popular in Germany, the United Kingdom, India, and Russia.
