Yes, that's Wu as in Wu-Tang Clan. Yes, Wu-Tang Clan have made a chess website. I did not see this coming. I mean, chess and hip-hop aren't things that many people would associate. Just another example of there being more to someone than meets the eye.

Chess is brilliant! It's what nerds did before there were video games ;)
Gods I suck at chess. I have no patience for that sort of thing.

Fixed.
Also, I'm going to look stupid if video games predate the rubix cube.

Actually, the Wu-Tang Clan have been into chess since the beginning. Strange, but true. *nod*

I'm better at Connect 4
I, on the other hand, appear to be rubbish at Connect 4, as this photo (http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk120/strangelybeige/Defeat.jpg) that my wife took (and uses as the desktop image on her PCs at work) shows. :(

I heard about this on the radio. It's a neat idea, but also costs about $40 per year. As someone who is not a huge fan of hip-hop or chess, I don't think I shall partake in this deal.
Cannot think of a name

Eh. You do. :p
I expect the phrase "queen's gambit declined, bitch!" might follow. :)
Chess is so cool. I like forking people. I'm fond of the skewer and the discovered check these days too. I'm not sure whether controlling the center from a distance is better than controlling it with a pawn setup. I fall victim to Kotov's syndrome.

That's it. Give me your lunch money.

You seem to be under the impression that I either eat lunch, or possess money. I must inform you that if this is the case, you are sadly mistaken, for I am not just a geek, but a drunk, and I have no money for robbers or food.
The surviving members of Wu-Tang are actually quite intelligent. GZA, as his moniker implies, is literally a genius.

Especially given that there are numerous free chess sites already, so you're effectively just paying for the hip-hop, which with social networking sites, YouTube, etc. really doesn't seem worth it.

The game of chess, is like a swordfight
You must think first, before you move
Toad style is immensely strong, and immune to nearly any weapon
When it's properly used, it's almost invincible
When I heard that on Enter the Wu-Tang, I didn't realise they were actually into chess.
