Huh? I've been playing the game for over 35 years and I've never come across this word. It was used in conjunction with a statement about not taking the sacrifice without thinking about it. Maybe looking for a counter-move? Anyway, any explanation would be welcome.
Its I believe german. We take it to mean "in between move" or "intermezzo", which means a move thrown into an expected sequence of moves for the advantage of one player ie. rather than "I take, he takes, I take, he takes.", "I take, he takes, I take, check? wtf?, he takes, he takes , he takes."
