A victory where the actions which led to said victory respected the rules and boundaries of the battle/game/whatever.

Cheaping out someone in Street Fighter with fireballs is a fair win, because you don’t need to glitch the game or input any codes to do it, for example. It’s cheap and annoying, but it’s fair.

Yeah, if you’ve ever been cheated in a competition you’ll know what fair win means.

Winning without cheating.

I was thinking it meant you got a ribbon at the Southern California Exposition

What other kind of win is there? If you win by cheating, whatever you accomplished was not winning. A victory by cheating proves nothing. Other than you proved you can cheat.

@josie You know “winning.” The guy with the most coke in his briefcase and the most hookers in his bed wins.
