EV 1036 - Approximate & Appropriate by Moordon

Surely preamble should state that replacements for parts of answers to 20 clues are forms of 26 across? However an entirely straightforward and unchallenging puzzle a tad on the easy side for an EV.

Straight forward puzzle but I just don't get the title? Not that it makes any difference to the solution but any enlightenment?

EV 1027 Checkmate by Shark

An enjoyable puzzle but really once you have the grid fill and letters the highlighting is hardly a challenge. Would have been so much more fun without the across misprint letters.
