Source etymology 1
Original entry ↗A frequency or rate. · 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 (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. · The timing advantage of being on lead, thus being first to initiate a strategy to develop tricks for one's side. · The timing of a particular event – earlier or later than in an alternative situation.
Borrowed from Italian tempo, from Latin tempus (“time”). Doublet of tense. (truck or cargo van): A genericized trademark, originally associated with the manufacturer Vidal & Sohn Tempo-Werke GmbH.
