Time For You To Uncover The Mystery Of Chessboxin’


WuChess opened today, and in addition to a (welcome, to me) return to Wu-branded merchandise it offers a new business model from the RZA, who’s charging $48 a year for chess instruction, online play, tournaments, and social networking. The site’s launch even gave the Web 2.0 chattering classes an opportunity to squabble with each other about the site’s viability! Personally, I’ll stick to online Dr. Mario for my game-related social-networking needs, even if the music isn’t quite as good. [WuChess blog]

    This reminds me - whatever happened to that “Ninja burglar” out on Staten Island?

    I’ve heard about Dr. Mario a bunch the last week or so. It’s kinda baffling. My friends downloaded it, and I was bored within 5 minutes….just like I remember from when I was a kid!!!

    I thought this post would have to do with the Chessboxing done in Europe, where two dudes box a round, then play chess a round, and so on for about 12 rounds.
