In May 1917, Henri-Pierre Roché played and lost a chess game against Francis Picabia over which the two had wagered the continuation of their respective New York-based Dadaist magazines (Roché's The Blind Man and Picabia's 391). Forced to discontinue The Blind Man as a result of his losing the chess match, Roché launched Rongwrong alongside co-editors Marcel Duchamp and Beatrice Wood, and published just one issue of the magazine. Duchamp had wanted to name the magazine "Wrongwrong", but the title was misprinted as "Rongwrong", and in true Dada fashion they accepted the mistake as the official title of their magazine.
