Can You Beat RZA in Chess?


While most of us know that RZA, the de facto leader of Wu-Tang Clan from its inception, has mastered the art of producing eerie, unique beats, here's something you might not know: he's an awesome chess player.

The current champion of the Hip-Hop Chess Federation, RZA is now plugging WuChess, a gaming site that merges social networking, hip-hop, and the world's classiest board game. Along with other Wu-Tang members, RZA himself will be competing on the site, which charges $48 annually. 

WuChess is holding a few in-person chess competitions around the country this summer. Check their blog for details.
