Let me tell you about a chess game that was played once.
On move 17, the white player lost a knight for a pawn. On move 20, he lost a bishop for a pawn. On move 25, he lost a rook for a bishop. On move 26, he lost a full bishop. On move 28, he lost a full knight. On move 30, he lost a full rook. On move 41, he lost a queen for a rook.
In fact, the white player in question lost all his pieces. What a dishonorable loss, you might say.
Yet he didn’t lose. He won. Even better, his opponent was a grandmaster.
