  • «Zürich 1934» :

    • Zürich 1934: Swiss tournament featuring seven foreign players and seven Swiss players, won by Alekhine (13), followed by Euwe and Flohr (12), Bogoljubow (11-1/2) (Chess History - see: Chess-Poster.com).

  • «Zugzwang» ZUGZ:

    • Zugzwang: German term meaning: "a compulsion to move". This occurs when a player would rather maintain the current position, but is is legally obliged to play.

    It is then usual of saying that the player is in Zugzwang. This situation occurs primarily during the Full-Endgame (FENG:) and has a devastator impact on the camp which is victim of this constraint (Chess Terminology - Current Chess Theory).

  • «The Immortal Zugzwang Game» :

    • The Immortal Zugzwang Game is the game Friedrich Saemish vs Aaron Nimzovitch, played at Copenhagen in 1923.

    In this famous game you find an example of Zugzwang not in the endgame, but, in a surprising way, during the Deep Middle Game (DEMG:) :

       Saemisch, Fiedrisch - Nimzovitch, Aaron [E06-l*] Copenhagen, 1923 - Chess-Theory Analyzed Game No 068

    After:

    25...h6!!    0-1



    White is really in zugzwang (i.e. has only bad moves to play!) (Chess Practice - Chess History).

  • «Zwichenzug» :

    • Zwichenzung: A German term meaning: "in between move". It acts of a surprising move inserted in a apparently logical series (for example a check interrupting an exchange sequence) and changing its result (Chess Terminology).
