Triangulation
Triangulation is a big word for a small concept. This concept is really about wasting a move (by making a pretty triangular pattern), so that you are able to gain the opposition. Chess players like this word, because it makes them feel very intellectual and important. Imagine telling your friends, "Today I mastered the concept of triangulation!" Sounds deceptively impressive, don't you agree? Instead, we could be saying, "Today I learned how to waste a move!"
