Chess champion teaches Sedona youth how to make the right moves
in life on Aug 30 & 31Sedona, AZ--
On August 30 and 31st from 1:30-3:00 p.m. at First Piggy Park, creek side at
Los Abrigados Resort, Orrin Hudson, a former Alabama state trooper and chess
champion, will teach Sedona youth that “living life” is about carefully making
the
right moves and learning from the wrong ones.
Orrin Hudson says “chess teaches people to look at problems from different
perspectives, and to think before you “move” or act. Every move you make has
consequences – positive or negative. In that respect, it is exactly like life.”
Hudson
is the Founder/Director of Be Someone, Inc. (www.besomeone.org), a non-profit
organization that trains youth to make winning moves in life with the help of
chess.

Excellence for park development, is located on Los Abrigados Resort property at
160 Portal Lane. The park features a larger than life chess set along with a
multitude of seated chess tables. “We’re delighted and excited about pursuing
strategic alternatives with Be Someone, Inc. and look forward to Orrin’s first
visit
to Sedona,” said Joe Martori, Chairman of ILX Resorts.
Many studies show that children exposed to chess perform better on exams
and are even better behaved. Chess stimulates the power of the imagination and
calculation and improves concentration. You can’t win a game you don’t play.
