I like it. Puts a little MTV moment into Chess (for the ADD generation). Maybe Cricket/pillow fighting? Lawn bowling/competitive headbutting?

Don't even joke about it!! As an avid fencer, I have had to hear every four years how "television un-friendly" fencing is, and how it may not make it into the next Olympic games, having been forced out by silly new sports. I don't think I could stand to live in a world where chess-boxing takes the fencing slot in the Olympics.

I think Chess-Boxing is a good sport. It is a test of brains and brawn. It also test your ability to think while your bleeding and you have pain shooting all throught your body. I dont think it should replace fencing though, it is a much nobler sport. Oh, but it could replace ice curling (i think thats how you spell it)

Me neither. Although maybe I would if I could be bothered to read the site, rather than just looking at the pix on the front page...

Replace Curling! Replace Curling! I think not! Curling is the sport of the Frozen Kings! It's Canada's sport, baby! Well, that and hockey

Besides, Curling would be in the winter Olympics, while chess boxing would likely be in the summer.
