Russian term

И проиграть необидно

Non-PRO Russian to English Art/Literary
Нет ничего приятнее, чем сразиться в поединке с достойным противником. И проиграть необидно.

Меня снова сбивает с толку необходимость дословного перевода. Так бы я сказала "Even to lose is a pleasure" или что-нибудь такое.

One feels no shame in losing.

There is nothing better than to pit your wits against a worthy opponent. It even makes losing bearable.

All the best.
