I promise it's real - read the Time magazine article on it. Competitors alternate in the ring between three-minute boxing rounds and four-minute rounds of speed chess. Between rounds, competitors only get a one-minute break to take off and put on gloves, and to ponder strategies with coaches. Ultimately, a winner is determined by knockout, checkmate, or referee decision.
Vanessa? Interested? You're the trifecta of brains, beauty, and strength. You'd be a shoo-in for the gold.

Holy cow! This is speaking to my soul. How is it that I was never aware of such a sport? Baffling. I'm actually pretty good at chess. Now if it were Boggle and boxing there would be no contest. I'm the champ! I am.
