Yes, he did have a chance of winning. He was a very good leader and soldier. He had already defeated Harald Hardrader in the North and had hurried south to meet William. Opinions are divided about what went wrong, but some factors were Harold's haste to start the battle (many of his men hadn't arrived yet), and the Saxons' abandoning of their higher position to chase the Normans in what may have been a fake retreat.
