February 2, 2010 No comments
Zugzwang position (German Zug, play, and Zwang, compulsion, obligation) is when you make any move would seriously undermine you in the game.
A good example is this:
In this case who would touch touch is impaired.
White:
- If you do Kd6 tables, and any movement will eat the pawn
Black:
- You can only do with what white Kd7 Kc7 move with what the next move or queen if promoted, thereby winning the game.
