“The audience is unanimous in its enthusiasm” One Show, BBC
Our chessboxing opponents face each other in alternating rounds of speed-chess and boxing. The winner is decided by checkmate or knock-out, whichever comes first! Giant digital screens and a running commentary by ‘Incomparable’ International Master, Malcolm Pein keeps even non-chess players up to speed with the game.
