WINING GAME

According to the laws of chess, a game is won by the player whose opponent resigns from the game. The expression is also used when a player has achieved a sizeable advantage. A winning game can be lost by: – underestimating the opponent’s ability of springing a surprise attack – striving for a brilliant execution while the opponent is accumulating small but decisive advantages. – drifting aimlessly – faulty execution of an attack – an oversight or an attack of chess blindness.
