Why Win?

Hypothetically, someone might prefer losing. Feel free to share thoughts!

Because they aspire to reign supreme. 

Well losing is better for learning and improving but winning feels better. It's the desire to win that makes you want to improve.

Let's settle this over a game.

*the game ends in a draw*

"It's the desire to win that makes you want to improve."
++ No, it's the aversion of losing that makes you want to improve.
All good players are sore losers.

@tygxc It's different for different people. Agressive players play to win, they don't fear losing.

@7

"Agressive players play to win, they don't fear losing."
++ No. Agressive players like Tal, Fischer, Kasparov loved to win, but even more hated to lose.
They were bold, but never reckless.

Because they finally found someone better than them

Losing makes it impossible to win. I LOVE WINNING

Have you lost at chess before?
