To play a game or sport better than an opponent.
Transitive Verb
past: outplayedpp: outplayeding: outplaying

This term describes a specific type of superiority where the victory is achieved through skill, strategy, or technical execution rather than luck or external factors. It carries a connotation of dominance and competence, suggesting that the winner was qualitatively better than the loser during the encounter.

In competitive contexts, it is often used to highlight a gap in performance. While "beat" simply indicates the final result, "outplay" focuses on the process of the game, emphasizing that the winner controlled the flow and outmaneuvered their opponent throughout the event.
