Also means

insuperable

Usage Note

Insuperable can describe both obstacles that cannot be overcome (un obstáculo insuperable) and quality that cannot be surpassed (una oferta insuperable — 'an unbeatable deal'). Context disambiguates. The English 'insuperable' is almost exclusively negative (an insuperable obstacle), but Spanish also uses it positively, making it a partial false friend.

Examples

"Su técnica es simplemente insuperable."

Natural Translation

Her technique is simply unbeatable.
