ZUGZWANG
Zugzwang
Zugzwang is a situation found usually in chess, but also in various other games, where one player is put at a disadvantage because he has to make a move when he would prefer to pass and make no move. The fact that the player must make a move means that his position will be significantly weaker than the hypothetical one in which it was his opponent's turn to move.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Zugzwang
