I'm going to be playing chess and somehow tying this to business.
I used to be a chess teacher in Utah, and I taught at over 50 elementary schools.
By the age of 16, I had a USCF chess rating of 1854.
I pretty much put that aside as I began my career.
and built out a career in television as a TV reporter.
So I'm going to be playing the Sicilian defense.
He's probably going to pick out D4 here, and I'm going to deny it and push out D5.
I like having a declined โ oh, now we're doing the Karokan.
I was hoping for the semi-slav.
Mind you, I haven't talked about playing chess like this in years, but I do have a memory for this sort of thing.
So we've got kind of a closed loop โ
Casablanca, Carrocan.
I don't like the placement of his dark-colored bishop there.
I think that's bad for him personally.
Let's see how I'm going to develop this out.
So one of the problems with this is the closed loop, trying to develop out the pieces.
So I'm going to probably have to do the same thing myself.
So one of the things I like about chess as it relates to business is the ability to think ahead.
And you have to know where you want the pieces to go before you place them.
