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 they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a turn with some effort' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'turn' could be 'go' (a person's move in a board game) and 'go' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'for' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
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" .)
