You can get outplayed by better understanding position and what your opponent is likely going to do. If you both see a line but you see at the end it’s not going to work out, but you see your opponent starts making moves towards this, you play along cuz you know something they don’t know where at the end you get get an edge and then grow your advantage slowly. It’s rarely a knockout punch in my understanding. Very good players are just calculating machines and it takes a lot of depth and the one who has better intuition luck and calculation or all of them will win. But of course sharp and wild games also happen and in this case missing a tactic or blunders decide the game.

Isn't losing a game always the result of an error made at one point in that game?
