Puzzle 92: Removing Chips

This is a 2 player game.  Start with 10 chips or some other playing pieces. Players alternate turns either removing one chip or two chips.  The winner is the player who removes the last chip.  Can you find a strategy so you are always the winner?

Extension: What happens if the last chip removed is the loser.  How can you then always win?
