I'm good at does when I am in the end of the game which makes me a trong player.

Zugwang es aplicable a condiciones de la vida diaria, también.

Interesante

Zug = move

Zwang = force

cool

awesome tactic!

Dont think its a zugzwang.If its whites move he could easily play Kd3 or Ke3 without letting black gain any advantage.However if its Blacks turn he is surely losing a pawn.

 I also had similar, situation. But it involved a draw offer, that I had made.  Either the opponent draw, or I force a draw...

The opponent have the choice to get out of the draw, but would find himself in a worst position, thus loosing the game.

If I don't force the draw, then I would lose the game.

Would that be seen as a double edged zugswang?

The opponent resigned the game, because he feel it to be dirty play, as he had a lower rating than I, and was in a strong position to win.

I'm not saying I would have win/or he would have win...I can only make a decision of how i feel the outcome could have been, and i do not consider blunders, because mate wasn't evident, but the position was so powerful, that both expected to win.  depending on the draw.(me expecting him not to make 3 move repetition, so that I can check him either with a night or bishop and then move in for mate)  Or,  him expecting me not to force draw, so that he could move in and finish me.

It is sad to win this way, he should have draw.

If

blck could take time to move, then white fall asleep, then blck can win on time...or white could blunder and give up...would that still be zugzwang?

would zugzwang be zugzwang, only if a move is made that we view as zugzwang, or can opponent still blunder? Does Zugzwang lead to defeat, or is it just a nice move, that you say.....erm this is interesting, and then continue with the game to win, or loose, or do you have to lose after a zigzwang?

seriously, i dont understand why you rate an end game like this. to it is luck and probably good positioning.Thanks

black king moves left or right, either way white wins a pawn, and then its easy to get a promotion afterwards. No move can save black in this position.
