What is "zugzwang"?
Zugzwang is a situation in chess where a player is forced to make a move that will worsen their position, because any possible move leads to a disadvantage. In zugzwang, a player would prefer to pass their turn, but since that is not allowed, they must make a move that causes harm, often leading to a loss or a draw. This situation typically occurs in endgames, where the player has fewer pieces, and even a small move can change the outcome of the game.
