Chess boxing is a hybrid sport which combines the sport of boxing with games of chess in alternating rounds. Chess boxing fights have been organized since early 2003. The sport was started when Dutch artist Iepe Rubingh, inspired by fictional descriptions of the sport in the writing of Enki Bilal, organized actual matches. The sport has become increasingly popular since then. To succeed players must be both skilled chess players and skilled boxers.
A match between two opponents consists of up to eleven alternating rounds of boxing and chess sessions, starting with a four-minute chess round followed by three minutes of boxing and so on.Between rounds there is a one minute pause, during which competitors change their gear. The form of chess played is speed chess in which each competitor has a total of twelve minutes for the whole game. Competitors may win by knockout, checkmate, a judge's decision or if their opponent's twelve minutes of chess time elapses.If a contestant does not make a move in the chessround, he will be issued a warning by the referee and he must then make a move within the next 10 seconds. Warnings may eventually result in disqualification.

Hi friend
Hi friend! How are you? I'm ok. It's been a long time since we don't talK. Let me tell you I started school again; my schedule is kind of stressing but I like it. So...how you've been?, are you still moving to Paris? if so, can I go with you? I've never been there :(, people say it's gorgeous but anyway.
How's your mom? I hope she's ok. Last time I talked with her she told me she was at hospital. I was shocked when sho told me she had already been there like ten times.
Please, let me know about you more often, you barely write to me. Are you mad or something?
XOXO

Today, Alice came out of her house, crossed the caramel street to get to the pet shop. There, she bought a baby dragon. When she came out of the pet shop she noticed she was not at the same street!. How could that be possible?, well, that's because it was a magical pet shop and it constantly changed of position. So, to find the way back home, Alice had to cross the rainbow bridge, pass the star planet, go over the dark raincloud, go under the troll house and finally pass through Aline's house (yeah, that's weird but she had to pass through it).
