what does plus 2 mean
Sort:
I was watching the interviews of the tata steel tournament and they kept talking about being plus 2. So what does it mean to be plus two.
It means you have 2 extra points of material (ie: being up a rook for a knight, or maybe being up a bishop for a pawn). It could also be referring to being up 2 positional points, which I believe would mean your position is better to the point of it being worth 2 points of material.
Plus 2 generally relates to the number of game points. 2/2, or 3/4, or 5.5/9, all those are "plus two".
