But this has me thinking... I see a zugzwang in the making that might be the zugzwang of all zugzwangs.

Maybe you can make the king walk before pushing your pawns but I was just being safe.
Think you had the wrong starting position tomtom, here it is corrected carrying on from move 17 when I played Qc3 instead.

Carrying on from move 17 again...
