A former Alabama State Trooper, Orrin Hudson won the Birmingham City Chess Championships in 1999 and 2000. Soon after, he formed Be Someone, a non-profit that has used chess to help 16,000 children believe in themselves. Orrin received the National Self-Esteem Award and a dozen other community service awards from organizations that include the Atlanta Braves, TBS, Harvard and the NAACP.
''Whether you're a newbie or a chess veteran, this book will help you make the most successful moves you can on the chess board - and even more important - in your life.'' --Jack Canfield, cocreator of the 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' series
''I love it when he says, 'heads up, pants up, grades up, and never give up.' Orrin ''Checkmate'' Hudson's book will make your life a masterpiece. Thanks Orrin, for what you do for our children.'' --Dale T. Sullivan, deputy director, Mississippi Association of School Superintendents
