    The lethality and equal bearings were the point. Chess boxing just leaves it open to strong people threatening to beat you up if you have a problem. Dueling was you agreeing you’re willing to kill or die for your honor

      Fair, plus the law never looked kindly on it. Just because you would get dressed up to shoot at some one does not mean you didnt shoot someone.
