RZA’s new project – WuChess

Saturday, June 21st, 2008 | News

Monday saw the beginning of WuChess, www.wuchess.com a new website allowing you to play chess online . Founded by RZA of Wutang Clan, the site will also feature news relating to the WuTang Clan. RZA, 38, who is set to tour Europe again this year with the Wutang Clan learned the game of Chess when he was just 11, from the girl whom he also lost his virginity to. RZA explains the similarity of chess to the Wutang Clan “because its a game of war – it’s about battle. And Wutang was formed in battles, from challenging each other”.

Playing nearly every day (along with cousin and co-fouder of Wutang GZA) saw him take out the Hip Hop federation belt in San Fransisco last year taking on a mixture of rappers and martial artists. The conclusion seemingly to turn your passion into your business, much like his musical career. Under his alias Bobby Digital, RZA releases “Digi Snax” in July this year which is sure to be an eclectic blend of sounds from many nations as he always delivers. Check out the video for Tragedy below as an example of the RZA’s ongoing theme of battle, martial arts, strategy, and chess.
