Losing on purpose

Games are competitive in nature. This nature is one of the key reasons why I argue that games can be used for self improvement. But it is important to note that winning the game is not the end-all be-all for this improvement. In my mind, winning is just a way of tracking improvement. However, losing often times forces me to improve. In other words, winning doesn’t help me improve, it only shows that I have improved enough to win against that specific opponent.
