女子足球世界杯赛，已连续在澳大利亚-新西兰主办国各大球场进行着，世界各地民众也可从电视及电台收看及收听精彩赛事。 八月二十日（星期日）将举行决赛，英格兰女子足球队对西班牙女子足球队，两支欧洲劲旅均是第一次打入世界杯决赛。两队势均力敌，未知鹿死谁手。 棋艺爱好者或许会发现，弈棋和踢球有很多相似的地方。人们一个共同的认识是，球是流动的，场地不会动。意思是这项运动玩起来会有各种变化，会有各种意外的结果。一如弈棋，千古无同局。知己知彼，百战百胜。 在一本很久没有翻动的棋书中（方长勤 郭淑珑 温满红 编著），看到首页的“前言”提到善弈。换位思想，足球的善踢也一样道理吧。 棋有开局，中局，残局。足球也有开局，如 4-2-4，3-4-3，1-2-4-3 等等。中局是半场休息前后的一大段战役。残局是赛事将要结束前的一段最后战斗，有补充体力的考虑，加时续赛及踢罚球（penalties）的安排等等。 前言 中国象棋，源远流长，双方对垒，奥妙有趣。弈棋能启迪智慧，锻炼意志，培养进取精神；寓于棋艺中的哲理，陶冶着人们的情操。弈棋在今天，已成为人们喜爱的娱乐活动，并已是科学和艺术相结合的一项运动项目。 纹枰对弈如用兵打仗，阵形变化，深不可测。两军相搏，是智取，是强攻；是速战速决，是固守待机; 一切全在用兵有方，审时度势。古人说：“拈两指之兵，恍若千钧之弩”。可见，棋走一着，份量不轻。积前辈经验的棋谱好似兵书，古往今来，善弈者，莫不精研古谱，常拆排局（set piece)。他们之所以能作战有方，举棋若定，皆是受益其中。 + + + +
