Be Someone

July 5, 2009

In Atlanta, GA there is a former state trooper who has dedicated his life to encouraging and teaching young people about the game of chess. His name is Orrin Hudson. A number of years ago, Mr. Hudson started a program called “Be Someone,” which is on its way to reaching his goal of teaching a million kids around the world about chess and the personal life skills that can be developed when you learn to play.

Sports Illustrated has a teen issue, and Mr. Hudson is on the cover of the current issue.
