Vol 29 - No 08 - December 2003/January 2004 Editorial: APS - a strategy to win Have you ever played chess? Have you ever wondered what separates the ‘men from the boys’ in chess? Why is it that some people can win easily and others never win? I enjoy a game of chess but only when I am in a good mood. If I am feeling stressed and pressurised then chess is not the game for me. The main reason for this is that my chess partner is my husband and in the 30 years we’ve been together I’ve only beaten him half a dozen times. So playing chess seldom boosts my ego. Our intellectual ability is similar, our understanding of the rules equal. We both understand the objective and know exactly how each piece can move! Yet it was 22 years before I won a single game! I would often get to the point where I would have four, five or even six pieces left on the board and he only had two and yet I would still fail to manoeuvre him into checkmate.
