Has Yugi (or Yami) ever lost a duel fair and square?


In either the anime or the manga, has Yugi (or Yami) ever lost a duel fair and
square? By "fair and square" I mean that Yugi wasn't:

  * Against an opponent who was ~~flat out cheating~~ [using a Millennium Item](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_-_Episode_002) to gain an unfair advantage (for instance, using the Millennium Eye to see your opponent's cards is unfair, but using the Millennium Puzzle or Ring to draw on an ancient spirit's wisdom and experience is okay)
  * [Coerced into losing](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_-_Episode_024) because there would be consequences if he won
  * [Chose to lose](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_-_Episode_042) to prove a point
  * [Losing in a simulation created by Kaiba](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_The_Dark_Side_of_Dimensions#Seto_Kaiba_vs._Virtual_Atem)
  * Otherwise was not motivated to win
  * Otherwise was against an opponent who had an unfair advantage or put Yugi at an unfair disadvantage

And no, Yami losing the [Final
Battle](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ceremonial_Battle) (a.k.a. Ceremonial
Duel) doesn't count since the two people were split and one of them had to
lose.

I would prefer duels that weren't Shadow Games, since the pressure of that can
arguably detract from the game being fair, but won't discount that completely.




As Memor-X mentioned, in the Waking the Dragons Arc, Yami duelled against
Rafael and lost. Yami was compelled to use the Seal of Orichalcos that Rafael
had given him earlier in the duel because he felt like there was no other way
to win (though the power definitely went to his head afterwards!). The episode
is a three-parter, but Yami/Yugi loses in [Episode 158 - Fate of the Pharaoh -
Part 3](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_-_Episode_158).

If you don't want to include the Ceremonial Duel, I believe that's the whole
list. All other duels where Yugi/Yami lost, he either surrendered,
deliberately misplayed (I include Yami [duelling against a spirit of
Yugi](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_-_Episode_163) in Waking the
Dragons in that) or was against a cheater.
