Chess Wager | Cyberchase

In this video segment from Cyberchase, Harry plays a game of chess with a young friend and suggests a wager on the game. Harry’s friend uses a story to explain how putting a penny on the first square and then doubling the amount on each square of the chessboard can generate a tremendous amount of money over time.
