Introducing "Stutzwang"

c4-d4-d4 · 2025-06-25T13:17:26-07:00

Me and my friend @NIJRRA just thought about a new chess term: "stutzwang". A stutzwang is similar to a zugzwang, but with the only exception that the player in stutzwang is forced to play a move that stalemates his opponent. @DanielRensch and everyone, tell me what do you think abou

I vote for "Slime-Blocked"; it has the right tone to offset such erudite terms such as "en prise" and "en passant" or "Ruy Lopez". Just being corrected by some pronunciation gatekeeper as to the proper way to pronounce chess terms, makes you want to kick those "I drink-tea-with-my-pinkie-finger-extended" down the nearest flight of stairs.
