Lourche or lurch was a French board game similar to backgammon that was played in the 16th or 17th century. The rules of the game have been lost. The game is referred to in the English expression 'left in the lurch', parallel to the French demeurer lourche, referring to the hopeless losing position a player of the game could end up in.

In chess, a swindle is a ruse by which a player in a losing position tricks his opponent, and thereby achieves a win or draw instead of the expected loss. It may also refer more generally to obtaining a win or draw from a clearly losing position.See, e.g., Ali Mortazavi, The Fine Art of Swindling, Cadogan Books, 1996, p. 44.

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.

On the rail, Mendelssohn takes the early lead from McKinzie with West Coast in third. Accelerate (#14) lies in fifth A poor start resulted in the horses with inside posts (Thunder Snow, Roaring Lion, Catholic Boy, Gunnevera) all being bumped and losing position. Yoshida and Lone Sailor also broke poorly and settled at the back of the pack. On the other hand, Mendelssohn broke well from post position nine and worked his way to the rail.

Players must deal with periodic random events such as runaway M.U.L.E.s, sunspot activity, theft by space pirates, and meteorites, with potentially destructive and beneficial effects. Favorable random events never happen to the player currently in first place, while unfavorable events never happen to the player in last place. Similarly, when two players want to buy a resource at the same price, the player in the losing position automatically wins. Players also can hunt the mountain wampus for a cash reward.

Time wasting can be used as a deliberate tactic to affect the result of a game. If rain is forecast, a side that is in a losing position can play slow, with the hope that rain will save them and turn the result into a draw rather than a defeat. Time wasting can also be used tactically elsewhere in the game: for instance, to minimise the number of deliveries between a given time and an interval. Law 41 includes rules to counter unfair time wasting.

In this 1995 game between Jan Timman and Christopher Lutz, an endgame with a rook and bishop versus a rook occurred. White is striving for the winning Philidor position while Black is employing the drawing Cochrane Defense and the "second-rank defense" (see rook and bishop versus rook endgame). Black was defending well in the difficult defense and could have claimed a draw on the 119th move. Lutz notes that he claimed a draw on move 121, ironically when making a move that gets into a losing position .

From a losing position, any move will lead to a winning position. In particular, when there is a Fibonacci number of coins in the starting pile, the position is losing for the first player (and winning for the second player). However, when the starting number of coins is not a Fibonacci number, the first player can always win with optimal play. For the misère game of this game, if there are initially n coins, then the first player can remove n−1 coins and leave 1 coin to win.

As an elementary school student first-grade student, he began playing games against junior high school and senior high school students to test his skill. Fujii's intense focus surprised his mother and his competitive spirit often led to crying outbursts when he lost. As a second-grade student, he got the opportunity to play a game against shogi professional Kōji Tanigawa as part of a simultaneous exhibition at a shogi event in Nagoya. Due to time limitations, Tanigawa offered Fujii a draw even though Fujii had a losing position.

Alonso discovered his Ferrari was better in cooler weather because of a favourable car balance. He passed Grosjean for eighth at the exit of Woodcote corner at the start on lap two after Grosjean ran wide at turn three, the result of his contact with Webber. Hamilton was two seconds ahead of Vettel by lap five, preventing Vettel from using DRS and allowing Hamilton to react a pit stop without losing position. That same lap, Alonso switched lines in an unsuccessful attempt to pass Ricciardo into Stowe corner and Grosjean caught up to him.

In a losing position, you cannot passively wait for your opponent to squeeze you to death. To stand a chance of pulling off a successful swindle, it is important to get the , and this may involve sacrificing a pawn or two, or even the exchange, to activate your pieces. Grandmaster (GM) John Nunn adds a caveat: when in a bad position, one must decide between two strategies, which he calls "grim " and "create confusion." "Grim defence" involves finding some way to hang on, often by liquidating to an ending.

He rejoined without losing position. Button battled Verstappen and overtook him for seventh on the 56th lap as Trulli made a pit stop from fourth and rejoined the track in fifth. From the 59th lap, Coulthard began to gain on Michael Schumacher, who slowed due to an oil pressure problem. He could not draw close enough to pass, and Schumacher took his second victory of the season, his third in Brazil and the 37th of his career in a time of 1 hour, 31 minutes, 35.271 seconds, averaging over a distance of and 71 laps.

With Cavendish losing position due to his teammates' flub earlier, Farrar was easily able to make it to the line first, taking his first career Tour stage win. After he crossed the line, Farrar made a W with the thumb and forefinger of both hands, in tribute to Weylandt – and lost his balance, nearly falling off his bicycle as a result. This victory matched him Millar earlier in the season at the Giro d'Italia in taking stage wins at all three Grand Tours for his career. Farrar praised his leadout train, particularly Hushovd.

Luton went 1–0 down – the first time they had been in a losing position in a league game since October – but a late equaliser from substitute Mark Cullen resulted in a 1–1 draw and left the club 15 points clear at the top of the table. Luton then lost their first league game in almost six months – a run stretching 27 matches – on 17 March at home to Woking. The club lost 1–0 in a game that Woking dominated for large periods. The club signed winger Luke Rooney on a contract until the end of the season on 21 March.

Simon Crean called on Gillard to resign, and was subsequently sacked from Cabinet. Despite the 2012 leadership spill, at which Gillard easily defeated former Leader Kevin Rudd, tensions continued to be high within the Gillard Government. According to Peter Hartcher, "After more than two and a half years of consistently being in a losing position in the Nielsen poll, the great bulk of Labor MPs did not believe the government could win the election that Gillard had called for 14 September." Whenever challenged by interviewers, Rudd repeatedly said that he would not challenge Gillard for the leadership again.

A series of published and private opinion polls indicated that the Rudd Government's popularity had declined to a potentially election-losing position. Rudd was challenged by Deputy Prime Minister Gillard to a party leadership ballot, which was held on the morning of 24 June 2010. Rudd did not stand for re-election, and Gillard was elected unopposed as Labor leader and sought her commission to be appointed as Prime Minister, thus ending the first Rudd Government. The Gillard Government narrowly survived the 2010 federal election, forming a minority government with the support of four crossbench MPs after the election produced a hung parliament.

Almost since the club's beginnings, Rapid fans have announced the last 15 minutes of the match by way of the traditional "Rapid-Viertelstunde" – rhythmic clapping at home or away no matter what the score. The first mention of the practise goes back to 1913, and on 21 April 1918 a newspaper wrote about the fans clapping at the beginning of the "Rapid-Viertelstunde". Over the decades, there were many instances where the team managed to turn around a losing position by not giving up and, with their fans' support, fighting their way to a win just before the final whistle.

On lap 29, Jones began to fall back in the field due to his worn tires, losing position first to Kimball, then to Rossi, Hinchcliffe, and Marco Andretti before finally coming in to pit on lap 33. Several drivers began to make their second pit stops shortly thereafter, including Carlos Muñoz, Scott Dixon, and second-place running Kimball. This promoted Rossi to second, but Newgarden continued to extend his lead. The running order remained the same until the leaders made their pit-stops at lap 54, when Newgarden led the entire top five into the pits.

Perry and Romney, the frontrunners, sparred with each other and received criticism from other candidates. Huntsman distanced himself from the Republican Party as a whole, saying it was becoming the "anti-science party", and would be in a losing position for the general election if it chose Perry. Huntsman debated Romney's positions on China, saying Romney could incite a trade war for calling China a "currency manipulator". Huntsman argued that he was more electable in the general election than all of his opponents, and predicted that the Perry–Romney rivalry would fizzle into obscurity; he drew parallels to Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson from the 2008 election.

It was around this time that Diego Lopez forged a new alliance with Juan Núñez II de Lara who had gotten into disputes with the infante John. Seeing himself in a losing position, the infante John signed a two-year truce with Diego Lopez as he assumed the new alliance between Diego Lopez and the House of Lara would not hold. Trouble came quickly to this relationship as Lope Díaz IV de Haro, Diego Lopez' son and heir entered into a dispute with Juan Núñez II de Lara and he attempted to get his father to accept the kings deal. The same year, Ferdinand IV gave Lope Diaz IV the charge of Mayordomo Mayor of the king.

The dominance continued into the seventies with Ndhlovu still a key player and Zambian national team captain Makwaza manning the defence. The team had a ‘never-say-die’ attitude and developed a habit of scoring late goals to win matches, often from a losing position. Thus the phrase "Mighty awina ichungulo" (bemba saying meaning `Mighty wins in the dying minutes’) was coined. In 1970, Makwaza’a defensive partner in the national team Dick Chama joined Wanderers from Bancroft Blades although he returned to Blades after a season, at the end of which Wanderers finished second on the league table after Kabwe Warriors who ascended to the championship when the National Football League awarded them points for a match against Mindola United who had used an unregistered player.

The value to A of any other move is the maximum of the values resulting from each of B's possible replies. For this reason, A is called the maximizing player and B is called the minimizing player, hence the name minimax algorithm. The above algorithm will assign a value of positive or negative infinity to any position since the value of every position will be the value of some final winning or losing position. Often this is generally only possible at the very end of complicated games such as chess or go, since it is not computationally feasible to look ahead as far as the completion of the game, except towards the end, and instead, positions are given finite values as estimates of the degree of belief that they will lead to a win for one player or another.

Team racing is a very tactical branch of dinghy racing and yacht racing, combining the need for adequate boat speed with superior handling, good teamwork, and sound understanding of strategies for converting a losing position into a winning one. Consider the following situation in a 3-boat team race - the most common format. If one boat is in 1st place and its team-mates are in 4th and 6th then the team's points are 1 + 4 + 6 = 11 points, whereas the opposition has 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 points and so is ahead. For its team to win the race, the boat in 4th place will have to slow the 5th boat so that its 6th place team-mate moves up to 5th - it would be dangerous for the boat in 1st place to do anything because of the two opposition boats behind.

" The board challenges and trial levels were praised for their difficulty and adding replay value and variety to Peggle 2. Game Revolution stated it made the game "an excellent chaser for Xbox One’s more hardcore experiences," and Edge opined the trial levels "a delightful change of pace: you know there’s a solution, that what it tells you to do is possible, and as such they require a lot more thought than the fire-and-forget nature of traditional Peggle." The multiplayer mode was well-received but also faulted by reviewers for its sparsity, lagging issues, and (most commonly) not allowing local play. Caffrey disliked the removal of the two-player Duel mode of the previous games, and Reiner criticized the multiplayer mode for occasionally dropping the player in the middle of online rounds where he's "forced to play the majority of the game in a losing position until a new one starts.
