Every once in a while when someone finds out I'm into chess they will start talking about how great Rza from Wu-Tang clan is at chess.  How he has a whole album about chess.  How he's some sort of master and wins tournaments and has a whole federation of his own.

So I've been looking into it.  No where is there any notations of any of his games.  He doesn't have a FIDE or USCF rating.  He doesn't play against other masters, or strong amatuers.  He doesn't play in real respectable tournaments.

HE IS A POSER and I'M CALLING HIM OUT!  He's a no talent hack pushwood trying to make himself look smart by playing up the chess angle.

I challenge Rza to a game anywhere anytime, let us see how strong he is.

Who cares. He loves the game we are passionate about. Give it a rest bro.

He seems to have given it a rest in 2014. Only every now and then someone feels compelled to bump this old crap again.

RZA was on the cover of Chess Life in January.

There's a lengthy interview. https://new.uschess.org/news/conversation-rza-wu-tang-clan 

 

 

Sorry to say, but Chess Life let him slide on the challenge.
