Thanks, that was pretty cool. I went on cnn.com earlier today but the link there didnt work. Glad you were able to find the link.

Interesting who the organizers in the US are too.

I never got the point of this chess boxing.  Just my opinion, but I don't believe this is the path to making chess more popular in contemporary society.  I mean, would Soccer become more popular in the US if the two teams stopped every 15 minutes to play a round of Monopoly for extra points?  I think this is just a gimmick and will do little more than make people take chess even less seriously than before.
