note | In the original German, zugzwang means any situation where you face external circumstances that force you to act. But the word has been adapted into a chess term, where it does mean a situation where you can’t act without being damaged by the result.
pronunciation | ‘fres
note | This is not German; it’s English that originates from German. So it is fress, and not the German fressen.
