so how does your concept of chess-boxing differ from the classical rules?

Jirra:

The boxing and the chess are simultaneous

Jirra:

While it is your turn, your opponent is allowed to punch you. This encourages you to complete your turn quickly.

Actually it’s bad to brush right after a meal. The sugar from whatever you just ate weakens your enamel.

It is bad for you brushing your teeth after eating to remove the enamel
