Nah, it depends. Perhaps winning the game means price money or whatever, but draw or loss gives nothing. Then, if you have a choice between a move that is a sure and easy draw, and a complicated move that is probably losing but gives such a difficult position that your opponent may go wrong and lose, then you should choose the complicated move. Even a 10% winning/90% losing gamble can in such cases be preferred over a sure draw. br, Jesper
