now, where is that?

now, people should not talk about chess boxing, because there is a difference between chess and chess boxing. However, both of them are sports, can any of you guys agree? @Akbar2thegreat @aKsKIl @Aviraj12 @BlingGamer @BorisOspasky @Chesscube2704 @CSKA_Moscou @Curieuil @Dukedog @HerkyHawkeye?

Plus, the IOC considers chess a sport. why? because some grandmasters burn calories from playing chess as well!!!!

Interesting thing about the calories burned, chessarena.com/ actually shows you how many calories you've burned in a chess session.
