Team USA will be doing a Tryout Tour in 2026. Interested in getting involved as a fighter, club, or sponsor?
Reach out, champ!
The coach of the U.S. chess boxing team dropped out of law school to go all-in on the sport. Matt Thomas built the American team, which includes a lawyer, a Cornell math major, and a military veteran. In 2018, Thomas became the first American to win a world chess boxing title. cbsn.ws/3JNYqRT

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.

Ludwig's "biggest failure" is actually my fault
I did my best to get chessboxing sanctioned, but failed
I made a video sharing what really happened on my last minute trip to Vegas to try to save the event
Nothing but respect for how @LudwigAhgren handled this whole situation and I promise to do my best to get chessboxing sanctioned in the USA in 2024
