Chess Boxing. It's a real thing. I heard about it on NPR this morning, where they described it as "this bizarre sport in Germany that combines the thinking man's sport, chess, with the number-one fighting sport, boxing." Turns out there's a sanctioning organisation, the WCBO, and an entry on Wikipedia. The way it works is thusly: you start with a four minute round of chess, then the competitors have a one minute break, then a two minute round of boxing, then back to chess again, eleven rounds in all. The match can end by checkmate or knockout. Sweet.I would like to take this opportunity to announce the formation of the WDWF, the World Dungeons-And-Dragons Wrestling Federation. We alternate three minutes of pro wrestling action with two hours of exciting role-playing and dice-rolling. Matches can end by pinfall, submission, or when you run out of Mountain Dew.

To make it even better, your characters can be monks, so you can simply switch from ducking and reeling to decking and rolling.
Or they could be monks who are also smelly bums. Then they could also be reeking and on-the-doleing.
I think they could have made this better.
Set up 8 light weights in the front. 2 Heavy Weights 2 middle weights, 2 cruiser weights and 2 women boxers (One is king).
Then move your pieces like you would chess pieces, but when two pieces collide they actually have to fight. Even if its light vs heavy wieght! muahahahaha.
I would pay big money to see that sort of fight. It'd be like Battle Chess, but even cooler.
The King should be a midget or something.
