Offtopic: does your username mean "between moves" or "between trains"? I guess the former because iirc it would be "züge" for the plural of trains. Or perhaps it's just "between-move" as a noun, but I have no clue what that would mean.

Of course Wikipedia holds the answer. I should have known.

In between moves. I play chess, and I started the blog as 'in-between moves' outside of work days.

Technically, singular works as well. I.e a train that leaves between two others (either physically or timetable-wise)

"Zug" is also a form of pull(ziehen). So it could also be interpreted as 'while pulling'. But that's pretty far fetched tbh

I'm not the parent, however, and can't answer your question.
