So you always hear some old guy at USCF tournaments saying that a Queen is a bad blockading piece and then he will look up at you with a twinkle in his eye, smacking his dentures, like he has imparted the chessic wisdom of the ages.
I wish I could find that same old fart to show him this position where the Black Queen must blockade on d6 square or White's d5 pawn will kick ass and shoot through to promote to a Queen at d8.
White does not seem to have a way to break the blockade in the above diagram since the Black King can just move back and forth from g7 to f6 it appears. Zugzwang is certainly a theme that White seeks to utilize CORRECT EDWARD WINTER and your desire to copyright.
Author Ronan Bennett figured out a way to monetize the nerdy concept of the Z word in a military novel. A professor emeritus of architecture in Connecticut United States of America and a lover of Rand's Atlas Shrugged also has a fascination/obsession with the notion of Zugzwang as it applies to game theory in general.
