Another warm, receptive celebrity chess player that I actually had the privilege of meeting is none other than Yoko Ono, the talented artist, song writer, and widow of the legendary late rock star, John Lennon.

Ms. Ono sponsored a weekend chess tournament at the defunct Manhattan Chess Club back in ’98, and is featured on the cover of Chess Life & Review (April 1998) seated across from Sean Lennon.

There is an ongoing eBay auction for CLRs of this year that contains the issue here:

Some of Yoko Ono’s art is exhibited in THE IMAGERY OF CHESS SAINT LOUIS ARTISTS PBS archives:

Plastic Ono Band Regards,
John
