Zugzwang: (Chess) a situation where any decision or move taken is a serious, and often, decisive disadvantage.
I was ready to quit, wasn’t I?
To throw in the towel
I had had enough
No more attachments, I said.
Then I looked into your face
Those eyes I could not escape
You put me in zugzwang
You smile and whisper “Check, mate!”

So, apparently, every time I’ve ever played chess I put myself in zugzwang without even knowing it. 😉 Seems a shame I only managed to get to your blog at the end of it all, but that’s the way it goes sometimes isn’t it? 😛 It was very nice to meet you regardless, and congrats on finishing the challenge!
