This thred has difinite lossing chances.
draw < lose or draw > lose?
It is obvious why a win is the best outcome in chess. What about a lose verse a draw? I'd take the lose any day. I feel like a draw is the worst thing that can happen in a chess game. Neither player progresses much and at least with a lose one could learn something new. I don't mind loosing, especially when I'm completely out played. I actually like it, my overall improvement is what i strive for. Its something that is cultivated in more than one game. What are your thoughts?
So, you can't learn from a draw?

Nothing like quoting horrific grammar from a country that speaks the language.
1. "What about a lose verse a draw?"
Uhm - Lose is NOT a noun, it's a VERB! It's called a "loss"
And a verse is a few non-refrain lines in a song, or a sentence in the bible. The word is "versus", or it can also be abbreviated by "v" or "vs".
2. "I'd take the lose any day." Again, that's "loss"!
3. "Neither player progresses much and at least with a lose one could learn something new"
Again, it's "loss", and also, not all draws are a lack of progress. Many wild tactical battles fizzle out to a dead draw. Other positions are book draws, like Philidor's Draw, the Short-side Defense, or the Long-side Defense in the case of rook and pawn verses rook.
4. "I don't mind loosing, especially when I'm completely out played"
Uhm, it's "losing", not "loosing", and "outplayed" is one word!
5. "I actually like it, my overall improvement is what i strive for."
Run-on sentence, the comma should be a period. This should be 2 sentences. And "I" is always capitalized.
6. "Its something that is cultivated in more than one game."
Your "Its" needs an apostrophe. The context of the word is the same as saying "it is", which is therefore a contraction and needs an apostrophe. "Its", without an apostrophe, refers to posession. The dog was chasing its tail.
7. "What are your thoughts?"
That your constant quoting of your own horrible grammar is doing nothing but showing off your stupidity!
Oh, and any reject would know that a draw is better than a loss any day!

I think hes speaking gangsta...

I prefer winning, obviously, but my next favorite thing is the draw. It's not that easy to get a draw. I've only managed to convert a loss into a draw a small number of times so far.
For no reason other than the challenge of it, draws are more interesting. Anybody can lose. What really sucks is when you can't draw, and you're losing to somebody who has no clue how to win. It's painful. If he can't mate me, why can't I find a draw?! But I rarely do.

u have absolutely no life.
Lol! I never thought that an American's English could be like this. Either you're a small kid, or not a native English speaker.
Not "verses" but "versus".
Good catch - Corrected above.
