The English Language

[IM Jack Rudd]

I think it's the normal meaning; the writer is either treating the pawns as if they were conscious entities or attributing the emotions of the player to the pawns.

In
White brings his pieces to bear on c6
How does "bear on" differ from "pressurize"?

[Michael Farthing]

"bear on" implies slightly less power than "pressurise", but the difference is small

[soheil_hooshdaran]

What's the difference between
White keeps taking more and more space
and
White continues to take more and more space
?

[Michael Farthing]

The first is very slightly chatty.
The second is a bit more formal.

So - use the first if you're talking in the pub and the second if you're appearing in Court.
[But actually the difference is so small it probably wouldn't matter at all].

No difference really.

What does it mea if a square is nailed down by your own pieces?

[soheil_hooshdaran]

What does he mean that by playing g3 white allows his Bishop to join in the d5 orgy in:
rnbqk2r/pp1p1pbp/5pp1/2p5/2P5/1PN3P1/P2PPP1P/R2QKBNR b KQkq - 0 6
? Couldhe not use party?

[Michael Farthing]

Yes, he could, but there is a difference.

An 'orgy' implies a very wild party, usually with (a) massive amounts of alcohol and (b) massive amounts of sex.

BUT I agree with you. Three white men attacking d5 is to my mind more like a party than an orgy.

What about my previous post?

What does home mean in:
Bobby fischer uses weak squares to create homes for his pieces

[Roger de Coverly]

What does home mean in:
Bobby fischer uses weak squares to create homes for his pieces

A metaphor, somewhere for the pieces to live.

An equivalent phrasing would have been

.. uses weak squares to place his pieces.

Using home carries an indication that a piece will not be disturbed.

What's the difference between
As this game demontrates...
and
As this game shows...
and
As this game illusntrates...
?

[Barry Sandercock]

All three mean the same thing. In English there are many ways of saying the same thing. I don't know if the Iranian language is like that.

[soheil_hooshdaran]

Sure it is. but some are sometimes used differently or are uncommon
