What does「勝負ありだ」mean?


From what I see, it said "It's a match." Other place have said "what a
battle", "it's a win," but there no consistency. Does anyone know?




The character, 勝負, comes from `勝つ (win)` and `負ける (lose)` so it means `victory
or defeat`.

So `勝負あり` describes the situation where we know who the winner is. The winner
might say this when s/he feels confident that s/he is going to win.

`It's a win` and `It's a match` make sense but `What a battle` doesn't really
make sense.
