I don't think anyone needs a board for that. [He gestures vaguely at the pieces.] The stakes are lower, but it's still competitive. Maybe there are lessons about patience, here, but there are lessons about sacrifice, too.
[He gestures, and his queen rises between them, turning.] She's the most powerful piece on the board; half the time when you've lost her, you've lost the game. [Another gesture, and this time he takes his turn by moving his pawn to the end of her side.]
But every pawn is a potential queen. [A shrug.] Or knight, or bishop. You can take that which has no value, and make it invaluable.
[Chess has a metaphor for every stage of his life, okay.]
