Re: The English Language
White has acquired a better pawn-structure, in view of the weak isolated black d5-pawn. On the other hand, Black has
gained the bishop-pair, retaining dynamic equality.
Means Bishop-pair neutralizes worse pawn structure?

Re: The English Language
In practical terms it means something along those lines.
(though it can in this case, also be seen as contrasting the "static" and "dynamic" aspects of a chess position)

Re: The English Language
Regrouping and redeploying conveys more of a sense of organisation and purpose than rearranging.
When GMs and IMs discuss games, they more often use the term "regroup" in preference to "redeploy" or "rearrange".
Another distinction is that a regroup or a rearrangement involves multiple pieces whilst a redeployment can involve a single piece. You might for example play Qa5 to d8 and then Qd8 to h4 as a redeployment of the Queen to the Kingside.

Re: The English Language
You would have to check the context. It's likely to mean that one player has three pawns and the other two.soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 5:51 amthe ending with four rooks and pawns 3:2,[..], is not a simple draw at all

Not quite. Permanent means something lasting a very long time. Static is something fixed or stable. I suppose there is not really much difference.
