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.
