Black Moves First

About Black Moves First

In the game of chess, white pieces always move first, which is an advantage. And the black pieces move second, which is a disadvantage. Black Moves First is more than an oxymoron in chess. Instead it calls for people to strive for success, even when the odds are against you. To strive for success even when you may not have the advantages of others. Our motto is “Changing the World, One Move at a Time”. This podcast explores the stories of how people have overcome adversity to make their own moves and change their own world. Whether in the game of chess or in the game of life. Connect with us: Subscribe to our podcast and share with others.
