Editing Gamesmanship (section)

==Usage outside of games==
The term "gamesmanship" is also used for similar techniques used in non-game situations, such as [[negotiation]]s and [[election]]s.

Each form is frequently used as a means of describing dubious methods of winning and/or psychological tricks used to intimidate or confuse one's opponent. Technically speaking, these tactics are [[one-upmanship]], defined in a later book by Potter as the art of being one-up on somebody else.

The term also appears in art theory to mean playfulness, as in "literary gamesmanship".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.complete-review.com/reviews/ugresicd/jaws.htm|title = In the Jaws of Life – Dubravka Ugresic}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.mcsweeneys.net/authorpages/eggers/eggers15.html |title=McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Dave Eggers |access-date=2006-04-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060527170159/http://www.mcsweeneys.net/authorpages/eggers/eggers15.html |archive-date=2006-05-27 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
