Created in 2003, it is hard to believe it was filmed in real time.

According to Snoops.com, at the time "Two hand-made pre-production Accords — there were only six in existence in the entire world — were needed for the exercise, one of them being ripped apart and cannibalised to the considerable distress of Honda engineers."

Quoted from their site: One of the goals of this new sport is the old ideal of a healthy mind in a healthy body: mens sana in corpore sano. During a chessboxing fight the control of aggression plays a big role. That’s why WCBO’s motto is: "Fighting is done in the ring and wars are waged on the board".
