I claimed he was trying to stop Kallen from reaching Lelouch and trying to fake his death at the same time, not lose. He didn't lose even in the false case that he was trying to win, because both their mechs got disabled and both would have "died" if not for Tristan. The fact Suzaku didn't exert himself to the same degree Kallen did (falling unconscious) is evidence enough that he wasn't giving it his all. He simply had to stop her and survive in such a manner that his death was faked. Without the Live On command, he wouldn't have been able to match up against the superior Guren. And you're just trying to simplify it by saying she won because of the conditions of their KMFs.
