Hey Patrick, I was thinking about our next picnic and how we could set it up like a chess opening—making sure every little “piece” like the sandwich, the drinks, and the blanket is in the right spot before the game even starts. What do you think?

Nice, that’s the pawn’s opening—solid and ready. I’ll bring the board, a little snack, and I’ll keep the clock running so we don’t lose time on any blunders. We’ll sit, check our setup, and then see where the opponent (the wind, the squirrels) takes us. Sound good?
