The growing sport of Chessboxing is coming to Norfolk - it requires brains and brawn.
Chessboxing is now a global sport played in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Russia and Japan.

For the chess bits they have to make a move within 10 seconds to prove they're not stalling, so luckily they can remove their boxing gloves.
Matches can be won from either discipline from check mate, a knock-out or on points. Anyone who fancies a go can contact OPEN, external in Norwich - there's a taster session on Bank Plain later today.

Plans for a 16-bed mental health unit in Chatterton House in King's Lynn - which will be refurbished at the cost of £4m - have been put forward by the local mental health trust and the clinical commissioning group (CCG).
Image source, GoogleIt will replace the Fermoy Unit (pictured) on the Queen Elizabeth Hospital site in King's Lynn.
The new unit would offer en-suite single room facilities for men and women with a variety of mental health conditions, such as depression and bipolar disorder.
One of the beds would be reserved for patients discharged from the general hospital who are awaiting onward referral for a mental health condition.
The Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment teams (CRHT) - also currently at Fermoy - would move onto the Chatterton House site.
Pauline Davies, the Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust's West Norfolk locality manager, said: "Every patient would benefit from a modern, en-suite bedroom, and the ward will also meet single sex criteria.
"Our new day treatment service, or an alternative to admission service, will also be hugely valuable, as it will give clinicians more choice about the best way to continue supporting service users to meet their individual needs."

Council leader Cliff Jordan (pictured) said: “We have ambitious plans for our county – whether it’s giving families the best start in life, working with business to boost growth, or investing in our roads and infrastructure.
“But to do this, we must care for your money. I’m determined we’ll be as efficient as possible and raise money from commercial activities, to help fund support for our families, the local economy, our roads and our health.”
Police are appealing for help to trace a 20-year-old man who is wanted in the south Norfolk area.

"This is more than outweighed by the savings made by the council."

A vintage coach has returned home to Shetland after nearly 40 years.
Image source, Nick TaylorIt was gifted to the islands by owner Nick Taylor (pictured above with the bus) who restored her.
The 1950s Bedford drove off the overnight ferry from Orkney just after 19:30.
A small crowd gathered to welcome her back. For nearly three decades she was a lifeline for Shetlanders taking them to school to the shops and on trips around the islands.
The coach was bought by Mr Taylor in 2011, and he completed its restoration at his home at Weybread in Suffolk.
A visit from its Shetland-based former driver in 2013 persuaded Mr Taylor the coach belonged back on the island.
It left from outside Norwich Cathedral on Monday, after a blessing from the bishop.
