It's a contracted form of "The annotations are based on those written by Endzelis, from his book...".soheil_hooshdaran wrote:What does it mean "Annotations based on Endzelis from his book ".....?

All much the same, meaning fixed or unchanging. In English there are many ways of saying the same thing, as you are probably finding out.

Any difference between
[the move] has failed to trouble Black
and
[the move] has been unable to trouble Black?

Re: The English Language
No real difference, but you'd probably not use the latter formulation for a one-shot effect like a move; you'd use it to describe something more long-term.soheil_hooshdaran wrote:Any difference between

Is "time series" used in a statistical context? "Application" in some contexts means "computer application or program".soheil_hooshdaran wrote:

Re: The English Language
If you had White Knights on g1 and b1, would you not want them to move towards the opponent's pieces and pawns? In other words to advance them up the board.soheil_hooshdaran wrote:What does it mean that the knight needsto advance up the board in order to be effective?
