Is is better to have played badly and won, or not to have played at all?
I played a blitz game today where my attack failed, and I fell into a messy defense. I think I learned a few key things. But along the way my opponent missed one or two mates. I won on time. Is this kind of game a learning experience, or does it make one lazy?
