An idiom referring to any area outside the Line of Sight of the opponent(s).

Comments:

Obscure Zone is somewhat generic in that it can refer to anything outside the opponent's normal cone of vision or anything that is obstructed from view of the opponent(s) (i.e. Object Obscurity).

Obscure Zone, as it relates to the opponent's cone of vision, also brings in the concept of range as it relates to sight and the limited ability to effectively read.

Like most concepts, Obscure Zone can be used in your favor or against you - so, one should always be cognizant of their Obscure Zone through Environmental Awareness and Expanded Awareness when possible.
