unenergetic

Black manages to get a comfortable position out of the opening, and as with Alekhine-Smyslov, benefits from some unenergetic play from his young adversary: 14.

The unenergetic way he said that he’d fight communicated just the opposite and reminded me of how sometimes my kids sound, telling me they’ll try to accomplish whatever chore I have in store.

He was wide awake, yet he had almost the languor of slumber; it surprised him to find himself thus unenergetic and not wanting to be roused to battle, even if the enemy were in sight.

The admiral had confidence in officers and men, and they obeyed orders calmly and smilingly; and if they looked unenergetic, and at times listless, they quickly "perked up" when "business" was "toward."

He is a very good boy, rather idle and unenergetic, but he is a very honest, gentlemanlike little fellow, though I can't get him to construe as I wish.
