Zwischenzugs and Zugswangs (and severe cramps that do not yet meet the technical definition) but no Zukertorts unless he played a Zwischenzug or a Zugswang. These are the hallmarks of GMs.

No hurry on this collection.

Thank you Obrit -- what a unique collection. I have included some of your severely restricted positions (a piece can still shuffle back and forth in a meaningless way as we wait for the axe to fall) although in a strict sense such restricted positions are not complete zugswangs, but very limiting none the less.

ZUGSWANG
A German word meaning: a compulsion to move, or making a move under duress. Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch and Eugene Alexandrovich Znosko-Borovsky defined it as "a disagreeable obligation to move." In chess, a player has the right and obligation to move whether he likes it or finds it most irksome. Accordingly, Fred Reinfeld explains that the underlying idea of Zugswang is the making of a forced move which "is supposed to be an asset and a blessing," but actually, it "becomes a liability and a curse." For a brief statement of Zugswang and twelve illustrations, see 1001 Brilliant Chess Sacrifices and Combinations by Fred Reinfeld, Chapter 18, entitled, "Zugswang."

ZUKERTORT
Dr. Johannes Hermann Zukertort, a highly respected chessmaster, was born in the little town of Lublin in Russian Poland in 1842. He was graduated from the University of Breslau's School of Medicine. He was also a noted musician, a linguist, a foreign correspondent and a military officer. He learned to play chess at the age of nineteen and developed into one of the strongest chessplayers in Germany. He defeated Anderssen in a set of two match games, and in 1871, he went to London where he challenged the great Steinitz. Chess now became his dominant interest in life. He was not only an excellent chessplayer but was also a forthright chess journalist and a fearless controversialist. In 1879, with the aid of Leopold Hoffer, he founded in London a chess magazine in which he carried on a series of bitter controversial articles with the great Steinitz. Dr. Zukertort had several successful chessplaying encounters with Steinitz. In 1883, Zukertort won the first prize over Steinitz. Again, in 1885, Zukertort defeated Steinitz in a series of games played at the Manhattan Chess Club in New York City; the result of which was 4 to 1 in favor of Zukertort. After experiencing years of poverty, Dr. Zukertort died in London, on June 20, 1888. Although Steinitz and Zukertort were critical of each other, nevertheless, Steinitz did recognize Zukertort as an excellent chessplayer and as having produced "one of the most brilliant games on record!"

ZWISCHENZUG
A German word which found its way into chess literature. It means an "in-between move" or an intermediary move. The term is applied to a move which places a chess unit in a position where it will interrupt a line of attack, or block the opponent's scope of controlling a large area of the chessboard, or serve as a stumbling block which will weaken a strong combination on the part of the opponent.

-- Dictionary of Modern Chess by Byrne J. Horton, page 223-224, Crown Publishers, Inc., New York, New York, 1959.

Oct-26-05 weary�willy:
zug = move
zwang = compulsion
Put simply ... the player "in zugzwang" would prefer not to move - bacause any move s/he can play will worsen his position "zug�zwang n. http://dictionary.reference.com/sea... A situation in a chess game in which a player is forced to make an undesirable or disadvantageous move." --- German Zugzwang : Zug, pull, move (from Middle High German zuc, pull, from Old High German, from ziohan, to pull. See deuk- in Indo-European Roots) + Zwang, compulsion (from Middle High German twanc, from Old High German). Think it pre-dates Nimzo ... but he developed it into an art form

May-17-07 Pragmatist:
The idea of zugzwang is that the obligation to move causes the loss. i.e. if the defender could "pass" then he wouldn't lose. Here that is obviously not the case. If black passes, then white keeps moving his king to h6 and then plays Qg7 mate!

Nov-13-05 CapablancaFan:
Zugzwang doesn't mean that an opponent can't move. It simply means that there are no moves left that will be BENIFICAL to the player.

Nov-14-05 lopium:
Ok. I knew a zugzwang wasn't when you can't move, but when you're obligated to make a bad move.

The simplest example of zugzwang which we all know, is K+P vs K When the defender occupies the queening square, the side with the pawn could NEVER win, unless the defending king vacates the queening square. The defense only does this because he MUST move. If he could pass, he would stay on the queening square and could never be dislodged no matter how many "free" moves the attacker is given.

The reason this term is often misused is that in both cases the defender has no good moves. In zugzwang however, the defender has ONE good move that is not available to him (i.e. illegal in chess): To pass and not move at all!! In the other case, such as the game here, the defender has no good moves and can't stand still either.

* Again readers, I do include some severely cramped positions that are technically not zugzwangs, but are nonetheless interesting pythons of helpless suffocation. * Zwischenzugs (intermezzos often associated in a capture-recapture sequence when the taking or retreat of an en prise unit is temporarily declined to accomplish some other immediate purpose such as giving check or advancing a passed pawn) are far, far more common than Zugswangs in a game of chess. Zwischenzugs simply decline the obvious move (ignore the opponents last move) for a stronger move, or the preparation of a stronger move. Multiple Zwischenzugs by either or both players in the same game can and do occur as they counterpunch their opponent's plans in an attempt to seize the initiative. * Tarrasch said "Mobility is all important." Logically, there are not that many occurrences of situations when one army prefers to pass on it's next move. Who wants to skip their turn? Not wanting to move is a clear and present sign of danger, and it usually happens just once -- right before resignation! Zugswangs usually occur in the endgame or restrictive, immobilized positions late in the middle game. It takes awhile to build these closed structures while the opponent has an active army. Therefore, this collection logically contains way more Zwischenzugs than Zugswangs.
