My opponent made

4  Inaccuracies
1 Mistakes
1 Blunders

That day I was on point and my opponent sadly played a line. I play very well.

A clean win is where neither side makes serious mistakes (losing side can still make mistakes towards the end under pressure, and it would still be called clean), especially where the winning side's positional plan is deemed "logical" in retrospect.

Very rightly said, no blunders, no serious mistakes, and yet through positional play or tactical play 1 manages to win the game.

I'd be a similar case if I had to drive on left...

The thread would be dead by now. Not a pointless one for once, but you already knew the answer!
