Chess is more than a game, it’s a lesson in decision-making, discipline, and thinking ahead. Every move matters, and the choices we make today can impact the opportunities we have tomorrow.

We’re challenging our young men to slow down, think through their options, and remember:

“Make your next move your best move.”
