Что это значить?
Пока нашла что заманчивая значить "soaking", "soaking opportunity" не имеет смысл по-английски.
Это из учебника шахмат:
Здесь у белых есть очень заманчивая возможность закусить пешкой a6 ходом Лa6+. Это бесплатная пешка, но здесь есть ход и получше. Здесь ход белых. Найдите лучший ход.
That's simple: a "tempting" opportunity, which is hard to resist. The textbook says that in this arrangement it is hard for White player to resist the temptation to go a6 - yet, there exists a better move.
I don't know where you found soaking, because заманчивый = tempting, enticing.
So заманчивая возможность is kinda like temptation (искушение).
"Заманчивое" is like "tempting" in "tempting offer". So, in your context it's just a "good chance", "propitious occasion" which attract a player.
Finally, "иметь заманчивую возможность" means "to see/have a tempting chance/opportunity to do something".

That's why you came up with "soaking"... "Замачивать" is a verb which roughly means "to soak smth.". So, "замачивая" is the verbal adverb of that verb.
But the right word is "заманчивая" ("заманчивый" - "tempting", adjective).
hah! You're right. We found the culprit :-)Quote:

Значит - 3rd person singular, present tense (it means, it signifies).
Что бы это могло значить? - What could it mean?
Это значит следующее: ... - It means the following...
а если речь о возможности замочить кого-то - тогда "замочителная возможность"?
Firsty, it would be замочительная if it were a wordQuote:
