Feb-23-23		Check It Out: White is paralyzed at the end.

Feb-24-23		Yuri Stremel: Fascinating position at the end. White doesn't have a single move that doesn't lose material (he can push the a-pawn, but that is limited). Beautiful win by Gukesh and excellent performance on such a hard tournament

Feb-24-23		fredthebear: Zwischenzuggery on the weak squares.

Feb-24-23		Check It Out: Zwischenzug or zugzwang?

Feb-24-23		Yuri Stremel: Zwischen - between Zwang - obligation Zug - "thing". In this context, move Zugzwang translates to something like "forced to move"

Feb-24-23		tamar: Even if white could pass the move to black fxe4 is crushing. In his interview with Gukesh, Yasser described 35…f5 as suffocating. Is there a German word for that? Sauerstoffenzug?

Feb-24-23		paavoh: @<Tamar>: "erstickend" might be the word for suffocating; English connotations are all your choice...

Feb-24-23		fredthebear: My second more instructive post on zwischenzug and zugzwang, as well as mutual zugzwang was deleted. That's typical treatment -- a glaring double standard where useful chess posts are deleted but the editor is allowed to personally attack members at will saying nothing of use to the reader. Yes <CIO> this is clearly a Zugzwang - thanks. White can make no improvements. My second post corrected by first post. Be aware that zugzwang is often mispronounced. It does NOT rhyme with "hug" or "hang". I usually pronounce it twice with my English-speaking students. Once like they'd sound it out (incorrectly), and once in proper fashion: https://accenthero.com/app/pronunci... .

Feb-25-23		Check It Out: <ftb> I saw your other post before it was deleted, and it contained an unprovoked attack against <perfidious>. Neither he nor an "editor" has said a thing on this thread.

Feb-25-23		tonsillolith: <yuri Stremel: Zwischen - between Zwang - obligation Zug - "thing". In this context, move> When does Zug mean "thing"? I thought in non-chess contexts it would either mean "train" or a noun form of ziehen.

Feb-25-23		stone free or die: <Zwischenzuggery on the weak squares.> This guy claims to be a chess instructor?!? To quote - <Pretending again, as always.> We always knew his Z squares were weak, I'm guessing it's a case of A-Z. Here's some good old Zappa advice, that just might do <Fred> some good: <Zappa - Don't eat the yellow snow> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shq... "Don't be a naughty eskimo, save your money, don't go to the show."

Feb-25-23		Yuri Stremel: <tonsillolith> I think I have mistaken Zug with Zeug, which would be more approximate to "thing". I need to review my deutsch

Feb-25-23		fredthebear: sock puppet sfod the Z troll polluter: <These trash posts belong in the Kibitzer Cafe or your own forum, not here.> I've already corrected myself twice numbnutz. Now restrict yourself to making chess posts on the chess pages.

Feb-25-23		stone free or die: Somebody forgot to close the faucet again. <Fred>, you're like a twelve year old who won't ever resign, despite losing time and time again.

Feb-26-23		fredthebear: Well, look who showed up on cue: <These trash posts belong in the Kibitzer Cafe or your own forum, not here.>

Feb-26-23		perfidious: A sense of purpose and tenacity can be valuable traits; pertinacity, as seen here in one instance, is not.

Feb-26-23		stone free or die: Fred is a fake chess instructor, and pretty poor on trash talking too. Entertainment value = 0.

Feb-26-23		fredthebear: The other moldy shoe drops. <These trash posts belong in the Kibitzer Cafe or your own forum, not here.> You clowns are being laughed at.

Feb-26-23		stone free or die: Fred, you're delusional, and lack self-awareness.
