Must Watch: 8 yr old to play chess match against Schwarzenegger

It’s not all about brawn at this year’s Arnold Sports Festival. One event this year will feature Arnold Schwarzenegger competing in a chess match against one Ohio’s best rank players: Emma Cheng. Oh, and the best part, Emma is just 8-years-old. Emma says she’s been told that Schwarzenegger was a bodybuilder and former California governor, but other than that she’s been spending her time studying the Terminator’s chess skills.

Emma, talking to NBC4, said: “I’m very excited, and I’m also a little bit nervous too.” Although Emma shouldn’t be too worried; she’s the 4th highest rated chess player under 9 in the US and third for grade school students in Ohio. (deb)
