The Chase's Bradley Walsh said: "It’s funny, because it’s not always the most knowledgeable contestants or best quizzers who win.
"You need to be calm, you need to make sure you properly listen to the question, and, when you don’t know the answer, make an early guess as that puts the pressure onto The Chaser to answer quickly as well, which can force mistakes – rarely, but it does happen.
"They all have their individual strengths and weaknesses, so sometimes luck can have an influence – as it does with what questions come up for contestants."

Discussing the daunting task of facing some of the country's best quizzers, Bradley Walsh added: "People who get overawed by being on set, facing the Chasers – who are looking down on them, physically on set – can crumble, so self-belief is key.
"Although it can go the other way and contestants who jump in too early with answers, don’t listen to the questions properly or sometimes take too big a risk on offers can come up short."
The Chase's 15th-anniversary special will be aired on September 2 on ITV1.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
