WuChess.com - Hip Hop and Chess Community

A partnership between the makers of ChessPark and Wu Tang’s own RZA has brought the world the first chess and hip hop online community. Members of the site can play chess with others from around the world, receive training from expert chess players and enter into tournaments. Members can also join with others to form clans that can compete against other clans in tournaments as well. As an added bonus, and to fulfill the hip hop component of the site, members can also watch exclusive videos and listen to great tracks while they play chess. Members can also log on and watch their Wu-Tang heroes play chess against each other. The site is not free and will set you back about $48 per year.

“WuChess.com is the world’s first online chess and Hip-Hop community. You can create and share profiles with your friends and triumph over enemies on the 64 squares. Not just against people in your neighborhood but from all over the world.”

The Wu-Tang Clan is a money-making machine and don’t count against them making this seemingly strange fusion of chess and hip hop a success. Their massive following might just be all they need to make this site a go.

Who is going to want to pay a membership fee of $48 per year to play chess and listen to music?
