The Anonymous Pineapple is currently hard at work on a feature-length documentary chronicling the worldwide development of the fascinating new hybrid sport of chessboxing.
The film will offer an exclusive and comprehensive look behind the scenes in chessboxing hotspots Berlin, London and Los Angeles, while exploring what this sport has to offer on a societal scale.
The following short clip, made using footage from the aforementioned doc, is intended to be a first look at the sport known as chessboxing.
"Daniel Lizarraga Rivas discovers a new fighting sport that presents an equal challenge to both body and mind, teaching the control of aggression while calling into question preconceived notions of what it means to be a fighter."
