When a player realizes that he is going to lose -- Based in the current situation, the player sees this as inevitable. When a player realizes that he is to lose -- This sounds odd: no one makes solid plans to lose When a player realizes that he is on the way to losing - - But he will not necessarily lose; he is just in danger of doing so.
