Victory is tremendous,victory is sweet, it brings optimism and confidence to anyone you meet. The feel good factor is wonderful to enjoy, it's positive for all ages, be you Granddad, Girl or Boy. Winning is what it's all about, the icing on the cake, being so calm and patient with every move you make. A pressurised tactical battle or a slow positional grind, driven on by self-belief, it's victory in the mind. Taking part is well worth while, encouraging and appealing, but promote that pawn or set that trap, and the result can be revealing. Satisfying and rewarding so take a well earned bow, forget the losses of the past; the time to celebrate is now!
