==Etymology== | |||
[[wikipedia:zugzwang|''Zugzwang'']] is German for "compulsion to move". In chess, ''zugzwang'' is used to refer to a situation where any move would put a player in a disadvantageous position, but the rules of the game compel them to move anyway. The chess theme extends to each member of the organization, whose titles and names are derived from chess pieces. | |||
