This sounds like what the www.electionmethods.com site calls the "Strong 
Defensive Strategy Criterion":  "If a majority of the voters prefer 
candidate A to candidate B, then they should have a way of voting that will 
ensure that B cannot win, without any member of that majority reversing a 
sincere preference for one candidate over another or insincerely voting two 
candidates equal."
