I just had a thought. You guys probably don't know what zugzwang is. Well, I've gotta keep this short, as I have seven or eight hours to write four or five essays (yay!). Zugzwang is a term often used in chess (and likely in war) which refers to a position where you are currently at your position of highest safety (or occasionally a position of high offense) and you are required by some circumstance (in chess, the fact that it's your move) to move out of that safe position into a less safe position. It's actually very difficult for me to put a fellow into zugzwang intentionally--or at least, severe zugzwang.

And besides, zugzwang's an awesome word! Just say it! Oh, and as a disclaimer, I don't know if I'm spelling it right or not. There is a possibility that it's "zugszwang" or "zugzswang" but either way I'm not really sure.

Anyways folks, my applications require doin'. Hasta la byebye.
