'''[[Main Page|Home]] * [[Chess]] * [[Tactics]] * Zwischenzug'''
A '''Zwischenzug''' (intermezzo, intermediate or in-between move) is a chess tactic related [[Moves|move]], which is played instead of an obvious looking, expected move, commonly a recapture, posing an immediate threat the opponent must respond to, ideally changing the situation to the player's advantage. The term Zwischenzug was coined in 1933 by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Reinfeld Fred Reinfeld] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Chernev Irving Chernev] in their book ''Chess Strategy and Tactics'' <ref>[http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/extra/earliest.html Earliest Occurrences of Chess Terms] by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Winter_%28chess_historian%29 Edward Winter]
</ref>.
Chess programs may consider some kinds of Zwischenzug early, after a recapture does not [[Fail-High|fail-high]], or does not improve alpha at [[Node Types#PV|PV-nodes]]. Most common is a check giving move even in [[Quiescence Search|quiescence search]], a [[Checkmate|mate]] threatening move, or a otherwise attacking move considering [[Discovered Attack|discovered attacks]].
