Here’s a game which ends with a Zugzwang: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1008255 https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1008255 (future world champion Botvinnik vs Thomas; Nottingham 1936) In the game, at the end, black is now, because of Zugzwang, forced to advance and weaken his f pawn. In a chess variant where players could pass instead of moving, it would be drawn, but since black must move, it is won for white. White now simply has to move his king across the board, use it to take the now unprotected f pawn, then use the knight and king to take black’s b pawn, then promote one of his pawns to checkmate the black king. Black wisely resigned.
