Tempo, Zuggewinn

A move which is part of one's own plan or strategy and forces, e.g. by means of a check or attacking a piece, the opponent to make a move which is not bad but of no use for him (the player gains a tempo, the opponent loses a tempo), or equivalently a player achieves the same result in fewer moves by one approach rather than another.

Examples :

"The chess player gained two tempos by attacking the queen with a pawn, forcing the opponent to waste moves defending instead of developing their own attack. "

Der Schachspieler gewann zwei Tempos, indem er die Dame mit einem Bauern angriff und den Gegner zwang, Züge mit der Verteidigung zu verschwenden, anstatt seinen eigenen Angriff zu entwickeln.
