Off topic, kinda. Stupidest combo sport? Chess boxing! Hit my head with your better boxing and I play worse chess. Chess doesn't make up for my bad boxing in some combination of skills sports, like a pentahlon, it tanks from my lack of boxing skill and I double whammy! Doh!
There's one guy who's quite famous who's good at chess.
His names Magnus Carlos or something like that.

Fedor Emelianenko plays chess a little. He played against Karpov (simul) and was only two pawns down in the endgame so he's at least not bad I guess.

Probably how he got the lead role in "Capablanca"
Apparently boxer Lennox Lewis played chess. Was he good?
Which sportsmen and celebs are competent at chess? Perhaps some are on chess.com?
