Re: The English Language
Question: am I a chess coach or a chess trainer or chess teacher or chess instructor? What is the difference?

Re: The English Language
I don't think there is much difference, so you can call yourself whatever you like.

Sohail, in terms of the English language, there is indeed not much difference.Barry Sandercock wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 8:15 pmI don't think there is much difference, so you can call yourself whatever you like.
However, I note that you hold the FIDE Instructor title. You must not describe yourself as a FIDE Trainer, as that is a more senior title.

Yes, I am aware of the difference, I am asking for the meaning of the terms alone.David Sedgwick wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 10:47 pmsoheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 3:24 pmQuestion: am I a chess coach or a chess trainer or chess teacher or chess instructor?

Re: The English Language
The approach of the white king to the centre in the rook ending is simple and sufficient.
Means in all rook endings?

Re: The English Language
So how does it differ froom a cautious or safe move?Ian Thompson wrote: ↑Mon Aug 27, 2018 10:31 amA modest move is a cautious move that doesn't risk anything. It's the opposite of a bold/risky move.
For example, if you've reached a position that is easily drawn, a modest move would keep the position drawn, but with no chance of winning. (A bold/risky move would try to win, but also with the possibility of losing.)

Re: The English Language
Thanks. Can we say that a modest move is not a gready move and is based on making yourself content with the currect state of affairs?

He commented:
Forced, as otherwise the rook transfer Ra2-a5 is immediately decisive.
What is 'rook transfer'?

What's the difference between 'condition' and 'circumstance'?
