"Winning Chess Brilliancies" edition error?

Hello,

I'm reading Yasser Seirawan's "Winning Chess Brilliancies", and at two points in the first game, he uses an expression that I don't understand, "text".

For example:

"6.e3 Now White prepares to develop the f1-Bishop, to be followed by castling kingside to safeguard the White King. The text is a crucial link in White's opening strategy. He reinforces the d4-pawn and protects the c4-pawn."

This looks like an edition error, doesn't it?  I'm pretty sure it should read "the move".

Thanks for any insight.

Yes, it's unclear. But sometimes an author will use "the text" or some similar distinguished phrase to distinguish the actual move as played from some variation he may have just been talking about. There's no such context in Brilliancies (I just looked it up, page 7, right?) but maybe that's why it's written that way.

Thanks for the information, Metastable, knowing the meaning of "the text" will certainly help out.  And yes, that was from page 7.

I borrowed the book from the library a year ago, but I only worked through that first game. I've been playing the QG ever since.  It struck me as a pretty neat book -  I just bought myself a copy. Hope you get something out of it.
