Not even if your opponent BEGS you to move twice.

Strong players often play to get a position in which their opponent must move, but no matter what move he makes it will make his position weaker and will cost him material, and the game. The position is called zugzwang, a German word that means "compulsion to move".

I wrote a piece about zugzwang for my chess blog. You can check it out here if you're interested: Dozy's Inferno: Zugzwang
