The Role of Luck in a Successful Outcome

"Checkmate, I win"

But is that really true?, Should that lauding hubris even be on your face or should you silently thank the stars that aligned in your favour today?

I'll argue that the best man lost and the loser won with beginner's luck. Don't blame me for being this uncouth, take your win but let my fragile heart bear its doubt. Your win tastes like vinegar and I'm hiding my sore loss from you.

But I'm not the kind of man that loses without a cause. I'll deny your patent role in this success, torture your ears with corny theories until you feel like a loser in the fair game you won and I feel like a winner in this game of gimmicks.

Checkmate, the loser wins!
