When you are playing the other fellows game and losing you change the game. You don't play thier game until your beaten and broke. Only a fool would do that, far far wiser to say ok you won that round now we are going to play my game.

Or put in military terms, if you are under siege by a superior force, but your forces are mobile do not wait until you are completely surrounded. Find an escape route, use it, then find a field of battle were you have an advantage.

I can think of more then a few great commanders where retreat, seemly in defeat was in fact a prelude to a great victory. In fact that was one of Napoleons favorite moves, he learned from Alexander the Great.
