Introduction

Chess is the sport of intellectual boxing. Once this basic truth is realized the game makes perfect sense. The board is the ring. The fighters are introduced as " White" or "Black". The White fighter throws the first punch sounding the ring of the bell and the Black fighter must defend his position. The ensuing punches reflect the hand movement of each fighter as they spar for position to gain an advantage. The goal of both is to knockout the opponent. Each fighter must throw a mandatory number of punches within a specific amount of time or suffer automatic defeat. These are the basic rules of the ring.
In the following chapters of this book I will give the fundamentals of "The Art of Boxing in Chess." I will take you from opening bell to final blow, showing you both the art and the science of boxing in chess. From this theory you will be able to develop your own style and technique based on the strategic principals of chess as boxing. This book combines the positional theory of Aron Nimzovich with the new discovery of boxing fight strategy so that anyone can create and understand effective fight plans. By creating intellectual boxing this book defines the strategie principals of chess. This book throws a powerful left hook into the chin of classical chess theory and delivers a knockout. The new sport of intellectual boxing has arrived!
This is a "calling card" to all those who take up the great sport of intellectual boxing. From the beginner who has stumbled on the great intellectual gymnasium of a chessboard, to the experienced prizefighter who "pushes wood" without plan or motivation. A challenge to the Masters who play it safe and solid and a creative work to the elite Grandmasters who know it all by instinct.
When you stop playing chess and Start boxing the sport of intellectual boxing appears. Crystal clear and with great beauty the fighters come alive. You suddenly realize you're in command of one of these "Prizefighters". This book shows you the ropes on how to create a "fighter" and understand that fighter is you! The mental discipline being taught in intellectual boxing, Peace, Justice, and equality are values that every mind is attracted to. Through the sport of intellectual boxing these values are taught. Progress is determined by the strength of a fighter's rating, The stronger the rating the stronger the character. Men of strength have strong values.
This book was written in a effort to help teach children how to sit down and understand chess quickly. From this I realized children need a focal point to start with. Boxing was the answer. In creating intellectual boxing I developed the first sport that teaches the mind to think in an abstract manner. Intellectual boxing develops the ability to think abstractly. When children create a fighter they see for the first time the beauty of the mind. It's ability to use symbols to represent reality. This gives them an easy transition into Math, Science, English and History. They are being trained in a sport. The sport of the mind!
The sport has given me many years of deep enjoyment and satisfaction. It teaches mental discipline, patience, persistence, and creative problem solving under pressure. It has a rich history and enough complexity to ensure a lifetime study. To me this is the greatest quality of chess, the ability to create joy in the soul.
Chess is candy for the mind,
Thomas "The Hitman" Grady
So, take a deep breath, put on your gloves and "Let's get ready to rumble."
