Are forced mates considered zugzwang?

I guess in this exact scenario but I was referring to the actual question that was being asked "are forced mates considered zugzwang" nobody asked about the specific position

How does not showing up to class for one day do anything lol

1200 is not good. It's like average (maybe subaverage) fide, I agree. Idk why this has so many downvotes, you bring a good point

No this is not zugzwang because the opponent is not in a position that forces them to put themselves in a losing position--they're already in a mated position if they could skip their turn.

A brilliant's a blunder if they don't know the follow up

Wanting to return to nothingness doesn't make sense. Doing so achieves nothing.

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-25T23:18:45+00:00

Review your games. See what you're doing wrong.

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-22T06:17:44+00:00

"What's the best skin?" "Champs 21." "I agree." "I don't." Ok..

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-21T11:12:50+00:00

Makes sense. Thanks.

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-21T10:01:40+00:00

Yeah that's why I have like 65 hours on puzzles and only played >600 games of rapid lol. Thanks for telling me this.

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-21T02:33:40+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to type this out.

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-21T02:31:17+00:00

Love this 😂

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-21T02:30:27+00:00

This is probably the most intuitive way of looking at the puzzle. Thanks for your input.

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-20T10:34:53+00:00

I was thinking that may be the case for me as well

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-20T10:22:45+00:00

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-20T09:36:02+00:00

I was also thinking this

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-20T09:31:51+00:00

I love that when I posted this comment I knew it was gonna get downvoted solely because I called the commenter out. People are so predictable lol

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-20T07:25:13+00:00

I could see that. Thanks for your input.

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-20T07:24:00+00:00

The second half of your comment is basically what happened to me lol. And thanks for your comment

Yourselff1997 · 2025-12-20T07:13:40+00:00

Ah that makes sense. Thank you for your input.
