The English Language

Means the attack wasted itself?

Means the attack wasted itself?

No, 'wasted' has a quite different meaning. 'Spent out' simply means exhausted or come to an end.

Reference to a good English Language dictionary should be sufficient to answer this and similar questions since Chess Literature contains a very limit number of chess specific words.

Out of interest, which English Language dictionary do you refer to most frequently?

[soheil_hooshdaran]

collinsdictionary.com, thefreedidctionary.com, m-w.com, learnersdictionary.com, whatever I find on the internet. There is also Hezaare English-Persian dictionary in print and also some English-Persian dictionary websites.
I was discontent with the definition.

[Michael Flatt]

The free online dictionaries do mostly provide simple reliable definitions sufficient to answer everyday queries, but as you have found they aren't really sufficient for a professional writer or translator.

Well established dictionaries, such as the OED (Oxford English Dictionary), do offer a subscription service to their full dictionaries. Access might be available through a local public or university library.

The two volume Oxford Shorter English Dictionary is downloadable as an App (trial version gives 30 day free access).

What specifically did you find lacking in the online dictionary definition of 'spent' ?

Why did Seirawan say:
Be patient and get you stuff out?

He is obviously referring to development, but why did he not simply say develop your pieces?

[MartinCarpenter]

Your not you I presume.

He’s emphasising the need to restrain yourself from other, tempting, actions before completing development.

Stuff means things?

Why does he say
[White's] King is clearly safer than the Black monarch?

[Roger de Coverly]

[White's] King is clearly safer than the Black monarch?

In English and some European languages, the word King not only refers to the chess piece, but is also used as a title of a male hereditary ruler. The word monarch means hereditary ruler, so the author is just referring to the Black King in a different way.

What's the difference between
White turns his attention targetting the h7-pawn.
and
White turns his attention to the h7-pawn.?

[IM Jack Rudd]

The former sentence (which should also have a "to" after "attention") carries an implication of attempting to attack and win the h7 pawn, whereas the latter sentence carries no such implication (it could, for example, refer to sticking a piece on the h-file so as to prevent the h7 pawn from just running down to h1 to queen).

What does "Here we go again." mean?

[Barry Sandercock]

It means something is going to happen again.

[Matt Mackenzie]

Normally used in a somewhat resigned "seen this all before" fashion.

I've certainly seen plenty of questions being asked on this thread. Are donations being given to this site for all the help someone is getting and all the money they have saved from hiring a tutor themselves I wonder?

There's a lot more to enjoy about the English Language than this, that's for sure. Shall we talk about where English comes from? There are many misconceptions regarding that one, courtesy of a a certain Friedrich Max Müller, amongst many others.
