Yoko's chess

It is not the first, nor will it be the last famous firm to put its stamp on a traditional object to turn it into a cult piece. In this case, it was the famous artist Yoko Ono, the ex of the deceased John Lennon, who has lent his image to revolutionize a game as classic as chess to make it a more than likely App of success.

Available for mobile iOSThis new version of chess retains all its strategic charm as well as two variants that make it something special and very close to what Yoko Ono has represented in her career, both vital and artistic.

To the traditional chess gameYoko Ono has introduced two variants, one artistic and one charitable. In addition to being able to play with the classic black and white pieces to hunt and capture the King, this new version in App format also allows you to play on a board where both the squares and the pieces are entirely white. This may mean you won't know who should make the first move, but it does ensure a particularly fun game that will test your memory and ability to read the game.

With this proposal, to a certain extent transgressive, Yoko Ono wanted to artistically demonstrate what “how absurd wars are” and underline “that we must consider all the aspects that unite us as human beings”.

The other variant that Yoko Ono has introduced in the App Yoko Chess It is the call Doggy ChessAs you can deduce from the name, it has something, a lot, to do with the canine world. By selecting this option, the pieces are transformed into dogs. With the income from this App, a donation is generated to an animal shelter.

And to reinforce the artist's role in the game, during each game, in the background, songs from her latest album are played.Take me to the land of Hell”.
