What is Zugzwang?

Zugzwang is a German word that translates to "move compulsion." In chess, zugzwang occurs when a player is forced to make a move, but any move they make will worsen their position. This can happen in various situations, such as when a player has no good moves to defend a threatened piece or when they have to move a pawn that will create a weakness in their pawn structure.

Zugzwang is a powerful weapon that can be used to gain an advantage over your opponent. By forcing your opponent into a zugzwang position, you can limit their options and increase your chances of winning the game.
