What is something interesting about chess that I could open and close a speech with?
HandsOnCelibacy asked:
Return to Educational ResourcesI’m doing a demonstrative speech on how to play chess this morning. I need to open my speech with something captivating (the “grabber”) and close with something–the same thing, something else–suggesting unambiguously the closing of the speech (the “leaver”).
I plan on opening the speech with Iran’s relationship with chess. I can’t think of a more clever idea. I don’t yet have a “leaver.”
Any thoughts would be really appreciated.

That crazy chess genius who just died and the chess playing computers both come to mind. They had one on Sarah Connor Chronicles, too. It destroys the world or something.
