Who am I: Number VI

[Mutawintji]

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 :))

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

I on the other hand have a compulsion to answer though I'de rather pass.

The answer is Zugzwang.

And the answer was in the first post because I was worried i would forget how to spell it ... haahaaa .... just used a white font.
