Zugzwang is a situation found in chess wherein one player is put at a disadvantage because they must make a move when they would prefer not. The fact that the player is compelled to move means that their position will become significantly weaker. A player is said to be "in zugzwang" when any possible move will worsen their position. The term is also used in combinatorial game theory, where it means that it directly changes the outcome of the endgame. Putting them in zugzwang is a common way to help the superior side win, and in some cases, it is necessary in order to make the win possible.

The time for chess is over.

Trump said "We have it all."

Trump said "This is a national security issue."

The DNI Report proved foreign interference.

The states, the courts and the congress were all in on it.

DC is surrounded by razorwire fencing. It is occupied by an army. There are hundreds of thousands of sealed indictments.

Is there a situaiton in chess which describes a player whose next move will put his opponent in checkmate, but instead of moving he gets up from the table and flies down to south Florida to play golf?

I'm sorry for the sarcasm but I am very, very ups

The shackles that have already been placed on us are unacceptable.
It's already gone way too far. Letting this happen is red flag.
