Koshnitsky ' taught thousands of men and women in the services to play during the war and he said recently that it was quite wrong to assume that chess is purely a man's game. Women exhibit the same qua- lities of mind that characterize a good male player, and their temp- erament is frequently superior. | Among his students are several women who rank with Sydney's | leading "A' gradé men players. Mrs. { M. Gheysens, for example, reached | the final of the last major open | tourney, beating several first.class male opponents. The reasons given by his women students for taking up chess are | varied. Said one: "The power of the queen as she. fights for her man. | surrounded by her retinue of knights, bishops and the rest, is fascinating to me. Whenever the king is in a tight spot, you'll gen. erally find the queen neatby, pro- tecting him--so romantic and excit- ing. For a business woman like me, chess is a marvellous relaxation." Said another: "The Beauty of the quaintly carved pieces, and the pageantry of their manoeuvres at- tracts me strongly. It is just like a age play."

Incidentally, the familiar princi- | ple that husbands make poor tutors | applies equally to chess. | Chess is making rapid progress among boys in New South Wales. | Many boys' schools have clubs-- but not a single girls' school.
