An article about early computer chess programs. (I don't play chess any more.)

zugzwang - The compulsion to move. When a player would rather maintain the current position, but must move in turn.

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.
