Dear Teacher,
When I read a chess book, I meet a sentence like this:
His plan is to get his Queen nearer the Black Pawn.
My question: is it correct? Please explain its structure: what's the function of nearer the Black Pawn?
Another sentence from a chess book:
You can only play the Open Sicilian (a sort of opening in chess) against strong (150+) opponents if you're prepared to do a lot of work.
My quiestion is: what's the meaning of (150+)? How to pronounce it?
Thanks in advance.
