You can't "play to win" if you don't actually know whether you are winning or
losing.
Analyze any lost game, and the loser will admit "I didn't see that coming" -
they were playing
an imaginary game, not the one actually on the board. Some are honest enough to
admit: "I was hallucinating there."
We're not talking about 85% of this and 80% of that; we're talking about groups
which are 100% dead, irrefutably dead,
get the casket and buy the flowers and fire the salutes, it's smelling rotten
already, versus programs which assign a 90%
estimation of winning the game, buying fireworks and Xmas presents to celebrate
for this move and the next until ...
Ooops! Is my witty bitty group dead? Whatever were we thinking?
