Competitions are more interesting when there's some doubt as to their outcome, and when real effort is needed to even have a chance of achieving victory in them. Then, should victory be achieved, it'll feel all the more rewarding than it would be if you had easily and predictably cruised to it.
That's a key counterargument to the ideas that Taichi's mom imparted on him, and I suspect that this is something he may soon learn.

He's already learnt that lesson, or he wouldn't have stuck to Karuta. It's how he convinced Tsutomu.
Nevertheless, he still plays to win. To him, having fun during practice (especially Chihaya's self-centered notion of "fun") is less important than maximizing their chances in this tournament, and possibly the ones after that.
