Oh, so you're changed your mind. Previously you were arguing that the second player wins by force but it didn't seem likely, somehow. The idea of black being able to obtain a winning zugzwang by force could never be demonstrated and that is because the possibility doesn't exist but even if it did exist, it couldn't be demonstrated, ever.
I don't remember ever saying that. Of course it's possible, but that's not something I would suggest.
White wins by force because white moves first. Forcing, probably through many different paths, multiple middle games where it's a forced mate in a certain amount of moves. Probably in the thousands.
But perhaps you may recall that I pointed out that I was certain you didn't actually believe in the argument that black wins by force and that in my opinion you had adopted that position because it seemed like a good way to get debating practice .... i.e debating a lost cause?

I do know that I made that suggestion more than once.
You did point out that you were certain of that. But I have never said I'm certain black can win by force. Of course it's possible, but it's not something I would suggest. I used to think it was probably a draw, but now I'm certain it's a forced win for white.
