Here's a game that I played recently in a rated tournament, which features a Zwischenzug (8. Bxc4) right in the opening.

It simply means an "in between move"

An example of simple zwischwenzug:

White has just pushed c4, setting up a "deadly" fork. but actually Black is doing fine because he can play Rh5+, and then move the other Rook on the next move, avoiding material loss. This is just an example.

25 is not a zwichenzug.
