I assume you mean '150, 151'. If so, the difference is this: '150-151' means that the topic is discussed continuously over those two pages; '150, 151' means that there are two separate unconnected references to the topic, one on each page. The distinction is rarely made, however, and '150-151' is generally used for both situations.

Both mean exactly the same thing. But you would probably hear people refer to "Two Bishops" more often than " a pair of Bishops."

What's the difference between "superior" force, "greater" force, and "more dominant" force?

[Clive Blackburn]

What's the difference between "superior" force, "better" force, and "more dominant" force?

They all mean pretty much the same thing really.

Sorry, "greater " not "better"

[Matt Mackenzie]

Still much the same meaning

Don't look for it. Give up.

[soheil_hooshdaran]

I wonder why he has not included such an entry.

My concern is for the readers

[Barry Sandercock]

Maybe he didn't think it was necessary as " position" is not really a chess term as can be looked up easily in any dictionary or on google.

But it is not defined in our dictionaries.

However, if you go to Google, there are a whole range of definitions....location, place, situation, spot, locality, posture, stance, pose etc.

They are?
If "superior army" means "greater army", does "superior development" mean "greater development"?
EDIT:So does superior mean "greater"?

[Barry Sandercock]

It certainly does !
