There may be other points to playing besides winning, but when "competing" 
the object is, by definition, to try to win. There may be other points as
well, but they are secondary. 

When I play against a student, I am playing to teach; I may make weak
moves in order to see how well the student can take advantage of it. But I
am not competing.
