How to use chess in a sentence?

  1. Ross Cameron:

    I’m not saying it can’t work. You can innovate, but this ain’t the way it’s always been done. And I think you take a risk by innovating, not if you’re in a position where you don’t have the horses, right? You’ve got to do something. You’ve got to have an asymmetrical kind of strategy. Like, if you play chess, and you’re the black pieces – which always go second. Go figure, right?
