A forcing move is a move to which opponent has to answer locally to defend against an immediate threat.
Example
In this position blue player has 2 forcing moves to make - c4 and c3. In case of playing c3, red has to defend with c4. In case of playing c4, red has to defend with c3. Otherwise red loses the game.
Notice that moves on a4, a5, f2 and f3 are not forcing. Against a4, a5 red has a choice of playing b5 which improves his position. Similarly, against f2, f3 red should play d2.
