    Both Vitali and Vladimir played chess with Kasperov, now that was a chess game!

    For the sake of listing a fight that hasnt been said yet, Id go with Judah vs Spinks 1 and 2. Fairly smooth, technical, 'chess' matches between two relatively skilled fighters at their peaks.

    Bradley isn't a chess player and Marquez wasn't playing chess that night. Close, tight fight, but more scrappy and awkward than a great display of skill and tactics.
