...Raligh's Fanfic Vocabulary Word of the Day!
zugzwang (tsūk'tsväng')
n. A situation in a chess game in which a player is forced to make an undesirable or disadvantageous move.
German for "compulsion to move."
In game theory, it specifically means that it directly changes the outcome of the game from a win to a loss.
So kinda the opposite of a win-win situation. Almost.
Cool looking/sounding word. (Plus, *THINK* of the Scrabble score!)
