| As in so many instances, German has us covered for today's events: “Zugzwang” - literally “compulsion to move” a chess term for a situation where one is forced by the rules of the game to make a move, but all possible moves are disadvantageous. Sometimes yelled by opponents in an outburst of unseemly triumph. |
