Gibbsmeatitle#1, this is a discussion board, this is what we do here. Nothing is off limit.
If you don't want to talk about the chances of dealing with a loss, fine. But I think it's a perfectly legit thing to discuss and there's no negativity behind my original post. Just reality.

Don't get me wrong. I by no means meant to cut off discussion (other than my own). As a matter of fact, I think I stimulated some as evidenced by our tit-for-tat. My point is sort of Sun Tzuish (dead guy reference number one) in that if you know yourself, know your adversary and prepare accordingly, you will win. By making the necessary preparations, and assuming you can perform at a certain level to begin with, you are eliminating defeat from the equation. Of course you've got fog and friction (von Clausewitz - dead guy reference number two), and a thinking opponent to deal with, but those are things you can't control; so why worry? You are not denying that defeat is a possibilty, you are simply not wasting time thinking about something that is irrelevant and distracts from your performance. That was my point for this game. If others feel as you do, more power to you. I just approach things from a different angle.
Nuff said,
GMAT
