Today's word is "zugzwang," a noun meaning "a situation in which any move or decision results in a disadvantage." It originated as and is typically used as a chess term but can be applied to other games as well as to situations in everyday life.
Whenever Mr. Nerd finds himself in a zugzwang when playing chess with me, he decides that he does not want to play anymore; he therefore thinks he can still say that I have never beat him at chess.
The next post will be up Saturday or Sunday!
