Not to confuse anyone (especially me), but to define the term is to win, depending on

your definition of winning.  It (win) can mean more than a few things – victory, success,

finish first, best, to achieve or gain, defeat, beat – just a few terms – but your definition

can be winning, even if you lose.  Just playing to win is a win, cause you can’t win if you

don’t play.  Or can you?  Are you in it to win it, can one play and win?
