The Parallels of Life and Chess | Eugene Brown | TEDxHickory

Eugene’s story of how he was transformed from a “Pawn” into a “King” and how you can do the same by understanding the real chess game of life. Position isn’t won by the fittest it’s won by the wisest! Anywhere you find yourself on or off of the chess board, our thinking got us there. The mantra and philosophy of the Big Chair Chess Club is “Always Think B 4 U Move!” This is a powerful concept and it applicable to life and chess.

While spending 18 years in federal prison for making the poor choice as a 20 year old to engage in the felonious act of robbing a bank, Eugune gained clarity while having a paradigm shift on life. In doing so, he turned his life around to help at-risk youth avoid the pitfalls all common in urban environments. In 2002 Eugene Brown started the Big Chair Chess Club, a non-for profit organization which helped get a group of teenagers off the streets using the game of chess. Eugene Brown’s insight on the urban subculture and the impact it has on lives of youth is unique and profound. Eugene Brown is offering to share his experiences, insights, and potential solutions to addressing the behaviors of youth as they relate to the urban subculture, and the limited choices that many of them face.
