    Default Who am I: Number VI

    Who am I: Number VI (Zugzwang)
    What is my name.


    I am a state (a state of affair). A state that a person, or commander, or leader, or victor, or opponent may be placed in or find themselves in.

    When someone, some group, some army, finds itself in my state then they have only one choice .. to move to their disadvantage. There is no way out to their advantage. I am often found/used in chess.

    I am German in origin.


    Googling is allowed

    cool bananas ... Greg

    Exclamation

    Vague memories of something a German (who taught me the initial rudimentary moves of chess) said to me.

    So I googled just to be sure!!

    I see you included the answer in your post - you can see it in the right light - but since I'm in no obligation to move, I won't reveal the answer.
