RZA, Rialto, Chess and Congress
Perhaps you saw the coverage of Wu-Tang leader and chess aficionado RZA in the New York Times this past week? If not, through the wondrous powers of the internet, you can read all about it by clicking here. Check out the video interview by clicking here. Also, here's how the match between RZA and the Times' chess editor Dylan McClain went down. NY Times seal of approval!
So from the Grey Lady direct to you: in conjunction with next Tuesday's RZA as Bobby Digital performance at the Rialto, The RZA will be appearing at The Hotel Congress before the Rialto show as part of the 9 Queens/Wu Chess Chess Fest (say it fast five times and you'll see a purple cow). 9 Queens, a locally based non-profit chess education and outreach organization, has put together quite the chess event to complement the concert. Aside from a chance to play against RZA, there'll be a tournament, prizes, chess lessons, and lots more. To find out more about the event click here and to learn more about the 9 Queens organization click here.
So there you have it -- the perfect night of entertainment and intellectual stimulation courtesy of The Rialto, 9 Queens, Hotel Congress, and of course, The RZA. Tickets available by clicking here.
