Re: The English Language
Given
"White's opening treatment was not ambitious, allowing Black to equalize easily.
The opposite-coloured bishops do not give either side reason to hope for more than a draw. Further
exchanges will conf rm this fact, but the difference in rating between the two players forces Black
at least to try. Another positive fact for Black is that his kingside majority is potentially more active
than White's on the queenside. Objectively the position is equal."
What does Objectively imply ?

Re: The English Language
It means the position is equal with best play by both sides. The preceding comments imply that the position is such that it will be easier for Black to find the best moves than it is for White, and that Black is more likely to find the best moves because he is the higher rated player.soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Sun Sep 30, 2018 1:58 amGiven

Re: The English Language
What does it mean that:
Plan C (20 points) is the best one, and highlights the secret of such positions: knights can
prove better pieces than bishops here. Of course, we should not underestimate Plan A ( 1 7 points),
because Black retains the option of a potential ... Bxe2, but we should not embrace Plan B ( 10 points), although objectively it doesn't change the position's evaluation too much. A lot of positions are equal, but because of the difference in the strength of the various plans available, as well as the implementation of the appropriate exchanges, they can turn out very pleasantly.
?
means objective evaluation of the position won't changed too much? With respect to what?

Re: The English Language
It could mean either, depending on the context. The "chances that are more practical" meaning is more likely if the annotation is offering a choice between move a as played and move b as recommended.soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Tue Oct 02, 2018 3:10 amMore practical chances were to be found in [...]

Re: The English Language
In the context, it has both meanings. The suggested continuations may be better than the move played and there's more than one of them.soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Tue Oct 02, 2018 9:12 pm

Completing development as soon as possible must be the indicated course of action.
"must be" is a speculation?

Re: The English Language
I would say that "wrong" is more definitive, and can be viewed as potentially result altering. A "mistaken" move might not be in itself.
