peer agreement (net): +2So we've made quite a little switcheroo Explanation: Some time ago, in connection with the "рокировка" of 2011, I gave some thought to how to get the same effect in English, where chess terminology ("castling") sounds very forced and unnatural. I came up with "switcheroo." In this case, the challenge is the combination of "сильный" with the diminutive, but maybe "quite a little" would work. |
