Everybody knows what Chess boxing is, right? Well, not to be left behind in the hybrid sport category, I propose the sport of underwater Pente, which can be played in swimming pools like the one illustrated in the image on this page or this page with pennies and dimes and some type of board boundary markings. Ideally, the board would be submerged deeply enough to make study of the position impractical except while under water. My lung capacity isn't what it used to be, but I still think it'd be fun to give this a try.

I think i might could dig it Watsu... deeper the better as far as i'm concerned.
... maybe that'd give me a slightly better chance at this silly game anyhow. -- Heaven knows i need all the help i can git! (plus i have no aversion to bikinis either)
