A battering ram is a siege engine used in the past.
It was used to break open the stone walls of castles or splinter their wooden gates.
In its simplest form, a battering ram is just a large, heavy log carried by several people and banged against an obstacle.
The ram  damages the target if the big log hit the target again and again.
Later rams were covered in the log with an arrow-proof, fire-resistant canopy mounted on wheels.
Inside the canopy, the log was swung from chains or ropes.
Rams were great weapons of war against old fashioned wall-building materials such as stone and brick.
These walls were weak in tension: they cracked when struck with sufficient force.
With many blows, the cracks would grow steadily until a hole was created.
Eventually, a breach would appear in the fabric of the wall.
It would cause armed attackers to force their way through the gap.
The introduction in the later Middle Ages of siege cannons causes the end of battering rams and other traditional siege weapons.
Much smaller, hand-held versions of battering rams are still used today, however, by law enforcement officers and military personnel to bash open locked doors.

Zugzwang is a chess term.
It  means a situation where any move by a player will weaken the player's position.
The fact that the player is compelled to move means that their position will become significantly weaker.
Black to play
1. ...
Kd7 and White cannot win:
c6+  Kc7
Kc5  Kc8
Kd6  Kd8 (opposing the king)
c7+  Kc86.
Kc6 is stalemate
White to play
But if it is White to play in the original position, he can win by zugzwang:1.
Kc6!
and now Black must move his king, for example1.....  Kd83.
Kb7'''  and queens the pawn.
Mutual zugzwang
The concept of zugzwang was known in the old forms of chess, like shatranj.
We know this because there are some Arabic chess problems which use the idea.
The term itself comes from the 19th century in a German chess magazine.
Its first use in English was in the early 20th century.
In chess, zwischenzug (German for "intermediate move") is a common tactic that occurs in almost every game: instead of countering a direct threat, which the opponent expects, a move is played which poses an even more devastating threat, often an attack against the queen or the king.
The opponent has to counter that threat first, and this will ideally change the situation to his disadvantage.
Borisenkov-Mezenev (diagram, Black to play), went 1... f2, threatening to queen, which White countered with 2.
Rg8, intending 3.
Rf8+.
But White resigned after the zwischenzug 2... Bb1!
which allows Black to queen (3.
Kb1 f1Q+ or 3.
Rf8+ Bf5).

The Stanley Steamer
In 1897 the two brothers began experimenting and making steam-powered cars.
They were soon making about 200 cars a year.
In 1899 they purchased a bicycle factory in Watertown and began building their cars.
They then sold their car company to John B. Walker and Amzi L. Barber for $250,000 USD.
With it they sold the rights to their car designs.
The sale had a clause that the two Stanley brothers could not build and sell cars for two years.
The Stanley brothers broke the clause and had to give their new design to the company Walker and Barber formed, the Locomobile Company of America.
In 1901 Francis and Freelan Stanley formed a new car company, the Stanley Motor Carriage Company.
The cars they produced, called Stanley Steamers, had many advantages.
The cost was $650.
That was $300 less than the cost of a Ford Model T. The cars were very quiet and only made hissing sounds from the boiler.
They had no transmission because there was no need to change gears as there was with gasoline-powered cars.
Their cars began making news.
The ascent took more than two hours and was notable as being the first time a car had climbed the  long Mount Washington Carriage Road.
In 1906 a Stanley Steamer broke the land speed record at 127 miles per hour on a beach in Florida.
As other car companies moved from steam to gasoline power, the Stanley Steamer became the most popular steam powered car.
As the internal combustion engine designs improved, however, steam and electric cars lost much of their popularity.
Finally, the numbers of cars sold went down to less than 600 a year in 1918.
both brothers retired.
A few months later, while he was driving home from a trip to Maine, his car ran off the road.
He was driving a new 1918 Model 735 Stanley Steamer.
He died in the accident, July 21, 1918.
His brother Freelan lived to be 91 years old.
