I thought this had something to do with the world chess championship though this is cool too.

Anyway, every one-on-one sport makes a reference to "human chess."

I was hoping this would be a team sport:

- Each team consists of a chess player and up to 16 boxers

- When one piece captures another, their corresponding boxers fight each other

- The winner of the bout determines which piece is removed from the chess board
