Sun Tzu and Chess

Here's something I got from my seatmate in the MGIS faculty room:

"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before the defeat." - Sun Tzu

What was he thinking when he said that? Hahahaha! Was he, in his lifetime, able to play the Royal Game?

As you all know by now, DEPED has sent out it's signed memo as of January 8, 2009 about including chess as a course of study in Philippine schools.

Today, I read an article called "A brilliant move" in one of our daily here in the library. One thing though, the implementation of the said move will be a different story. Hopefully it becomes a means to improve the the education of the Filipinos as a whole and in general.

The answers to the how's of this issue will have to be seen, let's wait then for further development. Sounds good to me but as always, we'll have to assess things based on it's results.
