The concept was known for a long time but was first coined in the 1920s, and later started becoming a part of the usual Chess jargon along with its cousins &#8211; &#8220;Intermedia Move&#8221;, &#8220;Intermezzo&#8221; and &#8220;in-between move&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So, what does this mean?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/1k5k3J5K3BywQOrpNA\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Zwischenzug always reminds me of this Coyote from Looney Tunes&#8217; &#8220;Road Runner Show&#8221;. There is an obvious expected natural law of physics that&#8217;s supposed to work in Cartoon. But just as we are expecting the obvious, something unexpected and creative shows up. Like this Coyote cutting the rope and having the whole cliff fall off. Or when he falls from a cliff and he has enough time to say goodbye before looking down and falling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/9S3FT1Lt3iaCQoUXEn\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Similarly, just as we are expecting an obvious forcing sequence in Chess, some unusual creative move shows up in the middle of the variation.

But just as we are about to give up hope, a curious-looking move pops up in our brain after Rc1 check &#8211; Why not sacrifice the queen on a1? &#8211;\u00a0 Voila! A beautiful finish to the game!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This unusual move in the middle of a hopeless sequence of forcing moves is what is called a Zwischenzug or an Intermediate move.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Here&#8217;s another example: Black to play.
