Two quick ideas:

1) Life is a series or a collection of games with learnable rules and in most cases you can learn the rules and get better at living. The outcome is You Having More Fun. You can have more fun when you are winning at what you are doing, and new opportunities appear for people who are able to stop flailing enough to see them.

2) In all cases where you have identified adversaries and opponents, avoid the tendency to objectify them. Objectification reduces the complexity of your adversary's existence, so you can more easily move them around in the landscape of your mind. The goal of objectification is to achieve consensus with others and to make prognosticating their next move easier. You can never win (on purpose) when you are objectifying opponents as you are using prejudice rather than true observation of their moves to chart your course. If you win, it is accidental, as your filter of objectification may sometimes match pretty well with the adversary's actual actions. You have to choose whether you want to reach consensus with others, which is aligning perceptions and coming up with a shared vocabulary; or whether you want to actually be able to predict your adversary's next move. The former activity has nothing to do with reality, and the latter has nothing to do with developing consensus.
