About Me




Drea Avellan is the name, but online I go by Pinksage. I'm a graphic designer with a passion in games, comics, music, sneakers and the web. I often talk about these topics on my blog.

"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"

Welcome to the age in were Hip-Hop, Chess and Martial Arts come together to bring us the "Wuchess Federation". When my Xbox dies, or my PS3 offers me a less than stellar game line up -- Wuchess is where is at...yo!

Here is the Press Release...or something.
RZA has announced the launch of a new online community geared towards chess players within the Hip-Hop culture worldwide. The website, http://WuChess.com, a partnership between RZA and http://ChessPark.com, will allow members to challenge others around the world, including the Wu-Tang producer himself. In addition to live play, members of the online chess community will have the opportunity to interact via instant messaging and live chat. While no official date has been announced for the launch of WuChess.com, those interested in joining the community can preregister now, with the first 500 members receiving the special ranking of “Founder” and periodic updates on the progress of the site. A portion of the money generated by the site will be used to fund scholarships.

For the full story log on:http://allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/04/14/19653576.aspx

Not suprised. RZA is a chess master isn't he?

If I knew how to play chess I'd likely be more interested. Now they needa make a current-gen sequel to their old fighting game!

Sage: if you hard return when putting BB code it'll break it, let it auto wrap when typing it and it'll link correctly. Learned that the hard way :P
