50 vs 1: Chess Champ Will Battle Dozens At Once

Related

ATLANTA —

Chess master Orrin Hudson is looking for a game...actually 50 games.

The Atlanta chess expert, motivational speaker and author will take on 50 opponents at once at the Georgia World Congress Center on Saturday beginning at noon.

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.

"I talked to a young man who told me 'I work hard, but I can't get a raise,'" said Hudson.

"I told him to cut his hair and pull up his pants. A week later he told me he had gotten a $7 an hour raise."

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."
