Hi:

Is a busines-like win, an effective win? Does it imply having making great efforts?
  

Top answer

It suggests to me that the win was accomplished very professionally-- no pyrotechnics, no lucky breaks, just through technical skill at the sport.

Could you use another word, such as "squarely" to replace it?

Hard to say, since I don't know anything about the game that was played, but squarely sounds nothing like the same to me.

Well, it can refer to being efficient, or being competent but lacking in enthusiasm, imagination, or emotion (perhaps competent, but a bit ordinary).

I assume nothing requiring special/great efforts, no.
