Hi,

Recently, I just learned about the Zugzwang concept in a game of Chess. Can you give me an example of a reciprocal Zugzwang?

Thank you,
Carlos

Dear viewer,

A reciprocal Zugzwang (sometimes called mutual Zugzwang) is a position such that who ever is to move next, is in Zugzwang.

The following two examples let you try interactively both situations with the very same position on the board:

White to move (and lose)


Black to move (and lose)
