And if it's an even position, you have to get your brain to think really, really hard, harder than a winning position or a losing position, because you want to get in a winning position.

It was improbable that the little-known French qualifier was in a winning position at all, implausible that it all went up in smoke with the clubhouse in plain sight, unlikely, too, that he could handle the disappointment of blowing a three-shot lead and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with such class.

Zermelo's work shows that in two-person zero-sum games with perfect information, if a player is in a winning position, then they can always force a win no matter what strategy the other player may employ. Furthermore, and as a consequence, if a player is in a winning position, it will never require more moves than there are positions in the game (with a position defined as position of pieces as well as the player next to move).

In 1902 his "superb" 138 in four and a half hours at Edgbaston was critical in placing England in a winning position. Almost twenty years later, Jessop remarked on the accuracy of his cutting. For Lancashire his batting, regardless of the weather, was "consistently brilliant".

Subsequently, this has grown into an all stadium celebration. In return their local rival, Sydney FC and their hard-core supporters "The Cove" have performed it in retribution when they are in a winning position as the 90th minute nears during their local derby. The supporters of The San Jose Earthquakes are also known to engage in it.

The idea is to give the opponent little time to prepare for the second move, increasing the probability of that move being a mistake. Playing a barrage of moves does increase the chance of a blunder from the barrager as well, and the technique is inadvisable in a winning position where a player should focus on winning on the board.

Unraced at two, Morston made his debut in the Godstone Plate, at Lingfield in May 1973. He won comfortably, but showed his inexperience- according to Budgett he was "all over the place". In the Derby he was made a 25-1 outsider. His jockey Edward Hide was told by Arthur Budgett not to be too hard on the colt, if he was not in a winning position.

Since 1986, the Palio delle zattere ("Rafts competition") is held every last Sunday of July to commemorate the wood transport system that since the 12th Century took place along the river Brenta to reach Venice and other local towns. The competition involves 9 rafts, each one representing a contrada, which sail along the river with the aim to reach the Rialto Bridge in Valstagna in a winning position.

Suddenly, England only needed three off two – and were, incredibly, in a winning position again. But Gough's next shot was right back to McGrath, who took it up well and tossed it at the stumps, running out Gough and meaning that McGrath would bowl to Ashley Giles – and England still required three to win. The ball hit Giles' pads, ran away down the off side, and Giles and Harmison ran all they could to scamper two leg byes – and tie the game.

It looked like Fujisawa would hold the Kisei for the seventh year in a row, but Cho fought back and won the last four games, as Fujisawa made a blunder in a winning position in the seventh game. After his run of consecutive Kisei titles, the Japanese Nihon-Kiin awarded him Honorary Kisei. He was known to play a very flexible fuseki but was infamous for making errors (poka) later in the game. The saying was that Fujisawa Shuko plays the best first 50 moves.

142-143 During England's 1967–68 tour of the West Indies, after making 41 and 42 in the first Test at Port of Spain, Nurse was pushed down the batting order for the second Test. In the fourth Test at Queen's Park Oval Nurse--batting first wicket down--shared a partnership of 273 with Kanhai that put the West Indies in a winning position but a controversial declaration by West Indian captain Sobers helped England to a win by seven wickets. England won the series by one Test to nil.Sobers, p. 109.

David Wright was placed in temporary charge for Colchester's final two games of the season. Meanwhile, the club confirmed contract extensions for Alex Wynter, who signed for a further two- years, and young goalkeeper James Bransgrove, who signed until 2019. Wright's newly acquired side battled back from 2–1 down to secure a point against Barnsley on 30 April with an equaliser deep in added time. George Moncur's 14th goal of the season gave Colchester the lead in the 42nd minute and the side went into the break in a winning position.

In practice, spreads may be perceived as slightly favoring one side, and bookmakers often revise their odds to manage their event risk. One important assumption is that to be credited with a win, either team only needs to win by the minimum of the rules of the game, without regard to the margin of victory. This implies that teams in a winning position will not necessarily try to extend their margin—and more importantly, each team is only playing to win rather than to beat the point spread. This assumption does not necessarily hold in all situations.

In his third year, he is the captain. He struggles with the ball and with the bat getting out cheaply for a duck in the first innings. In his second innings - set a total of 214 to get - he struggles and nearly gets out, but after hooking a boundary, begins to score runs briskly. At his score on 99, he is stranded in the middle of the crease and the ball is with the opposition captain Robin Oakley, who, instead of running the captain out and thereby putting Cambridge in a winning position, chooses to allow the captain to go back to the crease.

This was thought to be particularly unhelpful to the Conservatives, who had fallen into fourth place in Scotland, in their bid to retain Hillhead. However it was noted in The Glasgow Herald that the poll was based on research at the end of February and early March, and crucially before the budget which was thought to have increased support for the Conservative Government. The day before the election the Evening Times reported that a Gallup poll showed Wiseman in a winning position on a predicted vote share of 33.5%, ahead of Malone on 27% and Jenkins on 26%. This was reflected in bookmakers odds which now made Labour the favourite to win the seat.

Some commentators put the poll slump down to "labour movement ructions" over the underfunded WorkCover liability (see 2008 Parnell–Bressington filibuster), consolidation of rural health services, and the continued degradation of the River Murray.Rann's 'winter' puts South Australian Liberals back in the picture , The Australian, 24 September 2008. Newspoll saw Labor back in a winning position on 54 to 46 in late 2008, and then 56 to 44 in early 2009 along with increases in the Preferred Premier rating. Polling taken from The Sunday Mail during the 50-50 polling suggested that whilst there had been large swings away from the government in country areas, polling held relatively firm at 2006 election levels in the metropolitan areas.

The silver Werke cars were painted with spears of different colors on the rear fenders to aid recognition from the pits. Hans Herrmann’s particularly famous ‘red-tail’ car No 41 went from victory to victory. For such a limited number of 90 prototype and customer builds, the 550 Spyder was always in a winning position, usually finishing in the top three results in its class. During its tenure with the works team it was challenged only twice among the smaller cars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with a 1.5 liter O.S.C.A. finishing ahead but disqualified in the 1954 race and a 1.1 liter Lotus Eleven trailing the 1.5 liter winning 550 by one lap in the 1957 race.

Nakamura competed in the 39th Chess Olympiad. Although he defeated Lê Quang Liêm and drew Kramnik with the black pieces during the tournament, the U.S. team failed to medal. From November 5 through 14, Nakamura competed in the 2010 Mikhail Tal Memorial in Moscow; the field consisted of world No. 3 Levon Aronian, world No. 4 Vladimir Kramnik, world No. 6 Alexander Grischuk, world No. 8 Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, world No. 9 Sergey Karjakin, Pavel Eljanov, Boris Gelfand, Alexei Shirov, and Wang Hao. The average Elo of the field was 2757, making it the third strongest tournament in chess history at the time. Nakamura finished at +1, defeating Eljanov and drawing every other player to finish in a tie for fourth place and missing out on a tie for first place by blundering into a draw in a winning position in the final round against Grischuk.

The optimal strategy in Fibonacci nim can be described in terms of the "quota" (the maximum number of coins that can currently be removed: all but one on the first move, and up to twice the previous move after that) and the Zeckendorf representation of the current number of coins as a sum of non- consecutive Fibonacci numbers. A given position is a losing position (for the player who is about to move) when is less than the smallest Fibonacci number in this representation, and a winning position otherwise. In a winning position, it is always a winning move to remove all the coins (if this is allowed) or otherwise to remove a number of coins equal to the smallest Fibonacci number in the Zeckendorf representation. When this is possible, the opposing player will necessarily be faced with a losing position, because the new quota will be smaller than the smallest Fibonacci number in the Zeckendorf representation of the remaining number of coins.
