Dear IP: Sorry that you felt compelled to move. I would never wish to apply zugzwang to you. Bill

No, not to Animal Safari; I'll leave that to my ASp to suggest. In Go ( http://www.well.com/user/mmcadams/gointro.html) you can pass if you don't feel you have an advantageous move.

maybe a gambit to check on who is listening properly!
BTW, does that etymology perhaps also produce patsy, as in 'the fall-guy'? Although AHD says otherwise, they seem far from sure of their preferred origin:
pat·sy (păt'sē)
n. Slang., pl. -sies.
A person easily taken advantage of, cheated, blamed, or ridiculed.
[Perhaps from Italian pazzo, fool, from Old Italian paccio.]

Does the OED2 have anything to add?

W3 has patzer from G. patzer, a blunderer; and patsy from It. pazzo, a fool. coincidence?

There are a great many URLs about "patzer". Here is one of them, which even gives sources of tutoring for chess beginners: ] http://home.planet.nl/~jimvandorp/chess/home.htm
