Tihomir Titschko and Chessboxing

In the period 2003/4 he was invited by the World Chess Boxing Organisation (WCBO),[28][29] as result of this he became the champion of the first European Chess Boxing Championship in October 2005.[30] Titschko defeated Andreas Schneider (Germany) in the event.[14][31] The event was covered by a number of world media as Eurosport,[32] CNN,[33][34][35] Los Angeles TImes,[36] Die WELT,[37] ChessBase[38] and other.[39][40] A detailed video report is presented by German television RBB.[41][42] The sport of chess boxing, which combines chess and boxing, was created by the Dutchman Iepe Rubingh.[43][44][45] According to the rules, rounds of chess must be turned with rounds of boxing[46] (11 rounds in total / 6 chess and 5 boxing).[47][48][49][50] The first World ChessBoxing Championship was held in 2003 in Amsterdam,[51][52] and the first European Championship was held in Berlin (Germany) on 1 October 2005.[53][54] Chessboxing is based on a concept,[55] officially defined by WCBO, as a combination of classic intellectual chess sport with classic fighting boxing sport in combination, which requires good intellectual and physical training. WCBO activity is under the motto of the ancient vision of a healthy mind in a healthy body (the Latin sentence Mens sana in corpore sano). WCBO characterizes Chessboxing by definition "Fighting is done in the ring and wars are waged on the board".[56][57]
