If you MUST play something, the implication is that harm will befall your position if you do not. "Should" is probably not as strong.soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Sun Jul 08, 2018 9:05 amWhat's the difference between

"Should" can be taken as implying it is the best choice in that position.

Re: The English Language
"To come" - here means something that will happen in the future ... something that will come to pass.
In your example, I think white is saying the s/he intends (expects) to play Bd3 soon

Re: The English Language
"invade" suggests that the Rook on d1 will move up the d file, to d6 or d7 perhaps, while "attack" suggests the Rook will stay on d1 threatening any Black pawns or pieces that might also be on the file.
