You also have chess tabletennis (in Dutch schafeltennis). You have tournaments where you get points for the short chess and points for the tabletennis games/sets against players
You should cover sports that nations and clubs have adopted from fictional movies like: 1. Light Saber Dueling (Star Wars)-Played in the European Union 2. Quidditch (Harry Potter)-Played in North America
@@voxathletica Well, no one accepted my offer of “Chess Fu.” Here’s what I received: When we were younger, my brothers and I made up a game called "chessling" (chess + wrestling). It requires 32 players, representing both team's chess pieces, on a life-sized chess board. The king is the team captain who gets to direct others where to move, and when a piece moves to capture another piece, they wrestle to see who stays on the board! Needless to say, I've never actually gotten to play...

AMAZING idea, I had already considered Quidditch for this obscure sports series, but you've prompted a whole bunch of other ones, thank you!
@@voxathletica you are welcome
Oscar Wilde said that life imitates art, he’s right.
I’m going to introduce this to my Office chess club. Maybe I can finally win a match! 😅
HAHA do it! I'd love to see the reactions around the office

Great video!
Glad you liked it, thanks for checking it out!
You could also talk about kettlebell sport lifting. It's gaining popularity, but I still feel it is pretty obscure by mainline sport standards
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it!
gaining? it has passed its hype
