And thus, I tell him the story of how we acquired the pewter chess set, and how it aligns with his proposal.
"Nice! You scored these for a fair price! I think the chances of me adding chess have shot up the roof! Keep it up, guys!"

But still, I want to ask him this.
"You've heard of our boss's proposal to add chess to our recreational rooms, right?"
"Right."
"We've acquired a chess set today, and we just need a board that will fit these pieces. They're slightly larger than tournament-grade pieces, by the way."
"Ah! I've got the perfect board for that, and it comes in the form of a side table I came across one day, on the side of the road."
