Triangulation in chess is a strategic maneuver used primarily in endgame situations. It involves a player making a series of moves that return their king (or sometimes another piece) to the same position while forcing the opponent to move into a less favorable position. The main purpose of triangulation is to gain the opposition—meaning to place the opponent's king in a position where it is out of squares to move to, thus giving the moving player a strategic advantage.
