Black Wins By Force!
In the initial position, White is lost. Any move he chooses is a
bad one, yet the rules of chess force him to pick one. Thus, Zugzwang.
For Example:
1). 1.e4 . Simply an overly aggressive gesture that amounts to nothing more than a premature attack.
Black is too solid for this sort of nonsense to
work. Such a suicidal pawn push as e4 tilts at windmills, throws looping
uppercuts into thin air. Black ducks, blocks, or holds and soon his
counter-attack will crash through.
2). 1.d4 . A misguided feint. This kind of clumsy nuance can not save White
from succumbing to a myriad of set-ups Black has at his disposal to seize
the initiative through swift breaks against White's over-extended center.
Black has an easy game.
3). 1.c4 . Timid and stodgy, much too slow. Countless systems work here for
Black to take full control of the play based on the slight weakening of the
d4 square the c4 created. Simply a bad move in a bad position.
4). 1.Nf3!? . The best try! White neither sticks his neck out with rash
attacks nor does he sit back and wait to get steamrolled. Unfortunately for
the first player, their exists 1.Nf6!! A crushing reply, again placing the
onus of finding a useful move at a moment when none exists. Whatever White
chooses as his path now, clearly Black is better.
5). 1.Any other move . Obviously a foolish decision. The player of the White
pieces shows a blatant disregard for the laws of proper play, and will be
punished. We will not waste any of our time here on discussion.
The only thing to do after Black starts the clock is to simply resign, shake
hands, and turn the board around for a rematch!
