How did Prabhat's attitude towards winning and losing affect his enjoyment of games in the beginning?
Prabhat's obsession with winning prevented him from truly enjoying games. He would only play games he was sure to win, avoiding any game where he might lose.
This limited his participation and meant he could never experience the joy of playing for its own sake. His happiness depended entirely on winning, making games stressful rather than enjoyable.
Explanation
The chapter describes how Prabhat 'felt so good when he won that he never wanted to give up that feeling' but 'losing made him feel terrible.' He 'would take part only when he was sure of winning,' which restricted his ability to enjoy games freely.
