tempo
Meanings
自分の計画や戦略の一部であり、チェックや駒の攻撃などによって、相手に悪くはないが自分には役に立たない手を指させるような動き
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.
