Got a press release here about the Hip-Hop Chess Federation and Ubisoft, and really - isn't that enough to run the press release info about it? The event it's promoting is tomorrow, too - here goes: "Today the Hip-Hop Chess Federation (HHCF) announced that Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers has been added to the list of donors for the Hip-Hop, Chess and Life Strategy Tournament held at the Omega Boys/Girls Club in San Francisco, CA on May 19, 2007, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m."

"“I am grateful and honored that industry leaders like Ubisoft have extended a helping hand to the HHCF. They have been consistent in creating games that are not only visually exciting, but mentally uplifting.” says HHCF co-founder Adisa Banjoko. Ubisoft, creators of hit video game titles like Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell®, has donated hundreds of its top-selling Chessmaster® X games to provide to participants of the HHCF tournament." Is Chessmaster X a bit like Terminator X?

What's more: "HHCF programs include a variety of different activities including: chess lessons combined with life strategies coaching, general public vs. entertainers chess tournaments, star-studded grudge matches and more... Participants in the Hip-Hop, Chess & Life Strategies Exhibition include Chessmaster spokesperson and chess phenomenon Josh Waitzkin, platinum recording artist RZA of Wu-Tang Clan, award-winning film director Kevin Epps, DJ QBert and countless others." Here's an AllHipHop.com story about the summit - it's all a bit Sun Tzu, really.
