what is the real meaning of development?.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/develop

I'm just curious, I found the meaning of ''develop'' in the link above.  So, I what to know what is the difference between development of pieces in chess and put your pieces in strategic position?.

Boy, could I post some pictures about that...

Anyway, nice to have you back, kuggie. 

He is (or was) the site's chief philosopher regarding strategic positions.

Good for him, maybe he knows the answer of my question.  How about you, do you know the answer of my question?.

Yeah, maybe.  I'm not sure the difference is really meaningful.  You could say that development is just getting your pieces out from their home squares in the opening, whereas "strategic positioning" is doing something a bit more specific to the needs of the situation...but I'd say it's a good idea to try to combine the two whenever you can. 

Thanks Andy, your definition of ''development'' was good, but you said '' is doing something a bit more specific to needs of the situation'' was unclear to me.  Could you clarify what you mean?.

See, I knew you were kuggie! 

Awaiting to your response.

Thanks, so, you mean ''purpose is what improved fish do ( some of the time)'' is the meaning of strategic position?.

i'd like to see this moved to... let's say...  "off-topic"

I told you dude, I'm not kuggie.  who the hek is this kuggie?, give me his username and I will send him a message, maybe he can answer my question.

Awaiting to your response?, what the hek?, you didn't say anything yet.

off- topic?, your weird.

I am strategically positioning my improved fish.

did kuggie know the difference between your and you're?

I don't know about him, because I been using ''your'' all the time.

(ahem): I've been using...

if kuggie was dumb like this guy, then yeah, it's totally him.
