@iaviralgupta@CollinRugg Not only in 2025...it's been going on since 2003! There's more to meets the eye in this crazy sport, all covered in my documentary about its unlikely origins: https://t.co/2lhjvELJJY
@natesolon If you're interested in chessboxing, you might really enjoy my documentary about the growing pains and drama in getting it off the ground - https://t.co/2lhjvELJJY
@MaskedSanity If you enjoyed that, consider checking out my film about chessboxing! There's as much drama behind the scenes of the sport as there is in the ring. ๐ฝ๏ธ https://t.co/2lhjvELJJY
@peterdoggers Nice podcast! I also found the chessboxing reporting a bit...lacking, but still good for the sport to get some recent exposure in the US. If you're interested in the sport, consider watching my film about it! It goes much more in depth than @60minutes: https://t.co/2lhjvELJJY
Think you're the smartest and the strongest in the world?
Team USA will be doing a Tryout Tour in 2026. Interested in getting involved as a fighter, club, or sponsor?
Reach out, champ!
@SuperbSpeakers If you enjoyed that, consider checking out my documentary about it! There's as much drama behind the scenes as in the ring... https://t.co/2lhjvELJJY
@1HealthyHabit I agree! If you want to dig deeper and experience the drama behind how #chessboxing came to be, have a look at my documentary about it: https://t.co/2lhjvELJJY
@tazzman22@60Minutes It intrigued me too when I learned about it 15 years ago - so much I made a documentary about it. If you want to dig deeper and see how it came to be you should check it out! https://t.co/2lhjvELJJY
Very happy to see @MovingWithMat and the USA #Chessboxing team getting some well-deserved exposure on @60minutes tonight! Dive deeper into the drama behind how this sport came to be in By Rook or Left Hook: The Story of Chessboxing - available now on Apple TV, Amazon & YouTube.
@TheMellowOne I agree - if you want to see a REAL chessboxing documentary, (with an interview with RZA himself), check out By Rook or Left Hook - The Story of Chessboxing.
@gonna2849@WuTangClan You're telling me. If you want to see RZA weigh in on chessboxing, check out my documentary By Rook or Left Hook: The Story of Chessboxing.
@teddy1218759700 Better yet, catch it in my documentary By Rook or Left Hook - The Story of Chessboxing! (Spoiler alert, it's a lot better than the 60Minutes story).
Hey @60Minutes - Welcome to the #chessboxing party! I hope you watched By Rook or Left Hook: The Story of Chessboxing when you researched your piece... ๐ค

When 60 Minutes first heard about chess boxing, we thought it was a joke. It is not. Competitors alternate rounds of chess and boxing, and can win by knockout or by checkmate, whichever happens first. This Sunday, travel with us to the World Chess Boxing Championships.
@enf@Sierra_OffLine Hi @enf! I just remembered that I never really followed up on this...any chance you might have found that old Sierra Newsletter in your archives somewhere? Thanks in advance!
