Orrin C. Hudson, founder of a non-profit organization called Be Someone based in Atlanta, Georgia, uses the game of chess to teach urban children, both young ones and teenagers, how to make better decisions in life.

In his 63-page e-book, he reveals 21 PROVEN STRATEGIES that help teenagers "Think It Out, Not Shoot It Out". In the game of chess, you have to think three moves ahead, and every move you make is CRITICAL. It’s the same way in life, and by using this teaching method, Orrin has helped change the lives of more than 50,000+ children, mostly African American boys from urban and low income areas.

Devastating statistics about Black males:

  • "A black male born in 1991 has a 29% chance of spending time in prison at some point in his life." -- The Sentencing Project
  • "Black males ages 30 to 34 have the highest incarceration rate of any race/ethnicity gender and age combination." -- America Community Survey
  • "In 2014, 6% of all black males ages 30 to 39 were in prison, compared to 2% of Hispanic and 1% of white males in the same age group." -- U.S. Dept of Justice
  • "Black and Hispanic students made up more than 70 percent of students arrested and/or referred to juvenile detention centers." -- U.S. Dept of Education

Why chess is such a big deal:

The game of chess raises self-esteem, teaches determination, self-motivation and sportsmanship, and can be enjoyed by children from all social backgrounds, ages, races and genders. It demands children to take responsibility for their actions, and it improves problem-solving skills.

By playing chess, children develop and/or sharpen their ability to visualize patterns in their minds. They start creating plans and goals, and are able to easily make logical conclusions!

Orrin's strategies are designed to help as many teenagers as possible avoid resorting to violence and making common bad decisions that often result in them being incarcerated, and even worse killed.
