The Gambit
Tony, a middle-aged man, is sitting at a table with a chessboard setup. Brent, in his early twenties, walks into the cafe and takes a seat across from Tony. They play a game of chess while they talk about business, through the lens of chess. Tony is clearly a veteran that has been playing a long time, and knows his way around the board.
