For choice?

Anyone know what "for choice" means in chess?

I keep hearing it in tournament analysis. At first I thought it might mean "decisively ahead", but that doesn't seem to be the case - as an engine can show a position as 0.00 (triple zeros) but the announcers will still say one side is "for choice". Now I think it might mean "has far more options in the position", but it also seems it might mean "I would take X color here." So I don't get it.

Can anyone define it clearly?

Many thanks

My impression is that it is somewhat akin to "slightly better".

I actually got a really good answer on this from someone who would definitely know - if anyone's curious. It sort of is what it sounds like it might be, but it's also kind of specific...

It's basically when an engine is calling two sides equal or close to it, but the commentators think one side is definitively better.

Cheers!

"For choice" was in use decades before there were engines.

I think it comes from the idiom: "spoilt for choice"

Meaning the player has many good options (almost too many) to improve or maintain the position.
