In life, as in chess, forethought wins. Charles Buxton
Strategy, planning, analysis, strategic decision-making, calculative risks and moves, and handling last-minute dynamic scenarios are some aspects that have been imbibed within him as a Chess Professional and those skills are an indispensable part of the ever-innovative and challenging field of Construction.
