"There is too much emphasis on success and failure, and too little on how a person grows as he works. Enjoy the journey, enjoy every moment, and quit worrying about winning or losing." - Matt Blondi (Olympic Gold Medallist) "Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything." - Aesop

The female hormone, estrogen suppresses spatial and mathematical ability while Testosterone enhances it. This is obviously critical in chess - so remember, when I beat you I did so with a handicap. Since so many people ask me about girls, I shall see if I can help out. The golden rule: THE GIRL IS A ROMANTIC

So let her know you can be romantic! Here are 6 surefire ways (from a book, and quoted because they apply so precisely for me). 1. Set the environment - her 5 senses are much more sensitive than for men; this makes the right music important, a bright environment hurts her eyes (hence candlelight)

2. Light a fire! Collecting wood and lighting a fire to give warmth and protection has been done by men for women for hundreds of years and appeals to the romantic side of most females. 3. Bring Flowers - most men do not understand the power of a bunch of fresh flowers

4. Go dancing - it's not that men don't want to dance but they generally have inferior rhythm and musical abilities compared to women. To score points with women, know how to dance. 5. Feed her! Even if she is not hungry, the provision of food shows his attention to her well-being and her survival.

6. Chocolates and Champagne. Champagne contains a chemical not found in other alcoholic beverages increasing testosterone. Chocolate contains a chemical which stimulates the love centre of a woman's brain. Remember - "If unsure, ask" applies to dealing with the opposite sex more than anything else!

Due to various impolite comments I have recieved I hereby state that 1. I used a computer for a short period about half a year ago; I no longer use computers to assist my play 2. You have been forewarned - if you don't like it, don't play with me 3. Takeback only for mouse slips obvious to me (like 0-0 slips)
