“You don’t have to be a chess master to understand how this simple pyramid scheme will make us all rich. Yes a check, make it out to cash, will be quite acceptable”
“ The Wrestler considered his suplex the best part of his end-game arsenal.”
Note: It is not a Chess reference if you refer to a disreputable rapscallion, as having a ‘Checkered past”
2. In any sporting event, no more than ten minutes into the start of any contest, one or several of the sportscasters will utter some variation of "It's a chess match, with these two coaches, every time they meet in competition."
