Zugzwang

I'd like to do that too - anyone know how to do it with Outlook Express?

Express?

Tools, accounts, properties, general tab - change the email to whatever makes your boat float. Try something like snipped-for-privacy@microsoft.com or snipped-for-privacy@swbell.net or...

Thanks for the tip.

Did you mean Zugzwag? A condition where you have to do something, but everything you can do is bad for you. Direct usage is applied to chess.

Tom, Please excuse this post... I never used the term zugzwang nor had i seen it written. The only form of the word i ever was exposed to was in chess books where it did not have the 'n'. After Googling, i withdraw my comment.

Glad to see you back to being a "cabinetmaker" ... I can stop worrying now. ;>)

No, it's 'Zugzwang'.

That would be 'Zwickmühle' (double row/mill). 'Zugzwang' just means that you are forced to do something.

Three syllables, accent on the first.

German Z is pronounced like English TS. German W is pronounced like English V. To pronounce the German ü, form your lips as if to say O but say E instead. A terminal E in German is a 'schwa' sound ("uh").

So it should come out sounding somewhere between tsvick-meel-uh and tsvick-mool-uh.

No, it's just an "in-between" move, waiting for your opponent to do something so you can drop a hammer on him.
