Then you will learn how to win as well as how to identify mistakes before you make them. | |

In a bad position against a human player, it's often a good idea to try to randomize the outcome by playing for complications or even outright swindles; of course that will get you nowhere against a computer. | |
| Jun 6, 2016 at 7:31 | comment | added | bof | If you only play against players who are much stronger than you, how are you going to learn to play winning positions? (Unless the strong player is giving lessons, e.g. giving odds or otherwise starting you from positions where you are winning.) | |
