Can’t find a proper translation for fool’s chance, though it seems to be regularly used like a proverb – I would guess it to be something like a lucky strike, "ein Glückstreffer", but in the given context it sounds more like just "a realistic chance" of sth. happening.

My original sentence: "No chance at all had now become a fool’s chance."
(During the course of a once seemingly hopeless battle something happens, so that the person thinking this now sees a chance to win the war after all.)
Thanks for any input on the German equivalent!
