What does

Is it an idiom?

Re: The English Language
It means just what it says - the writer states that something has happened many times in the past and predicts it will happen many times in the future - for example "[Black lost by taking the pawn on b2 with his queen] as many times before and many more in the future"soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 8:56 pmThanks.

Puzzled - why do you ask? We talk about "Chess blindness" - e.g when a player fails to see an obvious continuation

"we should not embrace Plan B (10 points), although objectively it doesn't change the position's evaluation too much."
Here agaim objectively means that the evaluation could be changed by some other factors?

Re: The English Language
It probably means that the result of the game will be the same with Plan B as Plan A with best play. With Plan A it will be easy to find the best moves. With Plan B it will be difficult to find the best moves. So you avoid Plan B because you're more likely to go wrong.soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Sat Dec 15, 2018 4:51 am"we should not embrace Plan B (10 points), although objectively it doesn't change the position's evaluation too much."

Re: The English Language
It means, the position is drawish, so I must put up with it. Objectively means it is a fact, not affected by what you think about it.

What does the comment after
27 ... Qg3! 28.Ne1 Nh5?!
mean that
The idea is obvious, but 28 ... Ne2 ! 29 f4 Qxe3 30 Nxe2 Bf6! -/+ is more forceful. ?
How does it differ from strong?

Re: The English Language
You should recheck either the diagram or the annotation, as Ne1 is not a legal move.

Re: The English Language
It means the same thing. Seize sounds a bit more drastic.
