I play such games regularly. I'm just choosing place to die, then I try to stay alive as long as possible. Sometimes I even win, just because of pure luck. Then I win more often.

Your first and last sentences are in direct contradiction.
You mean the first sentence that they quoted in order to disagree with?
No, I do not mean the quoted section. They claim to play games where there is no chance of winning, then go on to claim they eventually win them often.
Please, read or watch «Ender's_Game» novel. I started to like to play such games after reading it.
