Zwischenzug

Is it really a zwischenzug in the part "Finally, a zwischenzug decoys the king to b2: 4... Bxb2+"? Sure Bxb2+ needs to be played to get the K back on b2, but it's not an inbetween move in the sense of an unexpected departure from an expected recapture etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rugops (talk • contribs) 19:55, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

5.Kxb2 isn't forced, White c/ play 5.Kd1, where 4...Bxb2+ is then pure zwischenzug. --IHTS (talk) 05:49, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
