XADREZ E BOXE, PORQUE NÃO ? - CHESS AND BOXING, WHY NOT ?


CHESSBOXING WORLD

CHESSBOXING RULES:

The basic idea in chessboxing is to combine the #1 thinking sport and the #1 fighting sport into a hybrid that demands the most of its competitors – both mentally and physically.

In a chessboxing fight two opponents play alternating rounds of chess and boxing. The contest starts with a round of chess, followed by a boxing round, followed by another round of chess and so on.
A contest consists of 11 rounds, 6 rounds of chess, 5 rounds of boxing. A round of chess takes 4 minutes. Each competitor has 12 minutes on the chess timer.

A round of boxing takes 3 minutes. Between the rounds there is a 1 minute pause, during which competitors change their gear. The contest is decided by: checkmate (chess round), exceeding the time limit (chess round), retirement of an opponent (chess or boxing round), KO (boxing round), or referee decision (boxing round). If the chess game ends in a stalement, the opponent with the higher score in boxing wins. If there is an equal score, the opponent with the black pieces wins.

"Morozevich,A (2788) - Kramnik,V (2788) [D45]
Tal Memorial Moscow RUS (3), 20.08.2008

1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e3 e6 5.Nf3 Nbd7 6.Qc2 Bd6 7.g4 Nxg4 8.Rg1 Nxh2 9.Nxh2 Bxh2 10.Rxg7 Nf8 11.Rg2 Bd6 12.e4

12...Ng6 N (apparently the novelty)

13.Bg5 Be7?! This must be home analysis, but it is unclear to us why it is better than 13...f6.

14.Bxe7 Qxe7 15.0-0-0 dxe4 16.Nxe4 f5 17.Nd2 c5 18.dxc5 Bd7 19.b4 0-0-0 20.Rg3 e5
21.Rd3 Be6?!
22.Ra3 a6 23.c6 bxc6
24.c5 Qg5? After some promising moments the game has gone badly for Kramnik.
Now he give Morozevich a free hand to attack.

25.Rxa6 (threatening 26.Qa4 with a forced mate)

25...Kd7 26.Bc4 Bxc4 27.Qxc4 Ne7 28.Kc2 Ke8 29.Nf3 Qf6 30.Rd6 Rxd6 31.cxd6
The multiple threats cannot be met.
1-0."


O comentário à partida do GM Vladimir Kramnik, em entrevista ao GM Robert Fontaine da "Europe Echecs":


VLADIMIR KRAMNIK

"I should not have lost this game against Morozevich.
Basically I just lost it in one move.
I played an inaccurate move Be6 and after Ra3, I could resign completely, there is no defence.
It is a very unpleasant way to lose, basically making just one inaccuracy."
