Chess! Boxing!

I know what you’re thinking though. I say ‘almost exactly’ in the headline, because clearly there’s one way that this sport needs to be improved, in order to match the divine imagery conjured up by its name: There needs to be boxing after every move!

ENHANCE!

Yeah, that’s about right.
