50 vs 1: Chess Champ Will Battle Dozens At Once at FOS:

Saturday September 13 and Sunday September 14, 2008

ATLANTA – Motivational Speaker Orrin Hudson is looking for a game...actually 50 games. The Atlanta chess champion and author will take on 50 opponents at once at the Georgia World Congress Center on Saturday and Sunday beginning at 1:00 PM to 5:00PM.

It's part of a program Hudson calls "Heads Up, Pants Up, Grades Up." He believes that learning to play chess can help young people learn to think for themselves. Hudson also urges young men to abandon the saggy pants look to project a more professional appearance.

"Hudson said that playing 50 games at once is an example of learning to fight using your head. We all have an amazing computer between our ears," explained Hudson. "The key is to realize it and use it."

 

 

 

 

 

Orrin Hudson, a former State trooper, knows how to take positive action and inspire good people to take action to stop evil doings. Orrin's passion to make a difference in today's youth comes after the tragic shooting of 7 innocent young Wendy's employees in which 5 were killed in a robbery for a mere $2400.

The RESULT, Be Someone was created for the sole purpose of helping recondition and reprogram today's youth so that they "Think it out and not shoot it out."

Orrin's message: "Push pawns not drugs - heads up, pants up, grades up!"

I personally invite you to join me in taking part and helping change the world of our youth - one move at a time. Please buy my book and/or make your donation today. The kids are our future, so let's invest in them - we ALL benefit!

He Knows the Right Moves
Orrin Hudson is teaching kids how to make the most of their endgame. Since 2001, he has been giving free, 16-week chess workshops for inner-city kids across the nation. But his students learn more than how to play chess. They learn to apply the strategies used in the game such as problem solving and thinking ahead to succeed in life. So far, Hudson has coached more than 20,000 kids in more than 15 states. "You have everything within you to win the game," Hudson tells his students. "If you make the right moves, you can get the right results."
