Appreciate a turn with some effort (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
go for
'appreciate' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'a turn with some effort' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'turn' could be 'go' (a person's move in a board game) and 'go' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'for' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for go for that I've seen before include "Attack (someone), decide on (an option)" , "Choose" .)
