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
- irremediable 12y agoThat's an interesting idea. The main problem I see is that it would take away a lot of the advantage of taking pieces.
- nemo1618 12y agoGood point. You'd probably want to match "piece strength" with weight class then, so that a pawn vs. queen is not a fair fight by any means.
- tomjen3 12y agoBut 8 of the boxers would be pawns, so how do you make sure the attacking pawn wins at least half the time?
- irremediable 12y agoThat would go some way towards solving it. But what about e.g. a pawn taking a pawn? It's an interesting thought experiment...
