may a player win
It seems that in chess, there are four ways to win: 
(a) inevitably in Botvinnik-style by gradual accumulation of positional 
advantage, 
(b) in the Tartakover manner, by "making the next to last mistake," 
(c) fatalistically, as when Oscar Panno replied to Fischer's surprise 1. 
P-QB4 by 1.- Resigns, or
(4) time clock forfeit (although that may be a subset of b).
Anyone think of other ways?

Best,
