Why not? A person in charge of a group of animals is often called their 'handler'.

"opening a file" is a neutral description; for instance, 1 d4 d5 2 c4 c6 3 cxd5 cxd5 opens the c-file; whereas "breaking open a file" implies that you have a definite purpose in mind – and, very possibly, that your opponent may not be so keen on it happening.soheil_hooshdaran wrote:thx.

Re: The English Language
It means that something more decisive must have happened later as a result of those three moves - because those moves never overran anyone in and of themselves.
