Combination (chess) - In chess, a combination is a relatively long sequence of moves, often initiated by a sacrifice, which leaves the opponent few options and results in tangible gain. At most points in a chess game, each player has several reasonable options from which to choose, which makes it difficult to plan ahead except in strategic terms.

Shortest proof game - A proof game is a type of chess problem in which the solver must construct a game, starting from the initial position in chess, which ends with a given position after a given number of moves. A proof game is called a shortest proof game if no shorter solution exists, in which case sometimes no number of moves is given and the task is simply to construct the shortest possible game ending with the given position.

Battle Chess - Battle Chess is a computer game version of chess released for the PC, Apple IIGS, Commodore 64, Amiga, CD32, Atari ST, Apple Macintosh, Acorn Archimedes and Nintendo Entertainment System in which the chess pieces came to life and battled one another when capturing. There were 35 animations, one for each possible combination of battle (thus there was no animation for the King-takes-King battle).

Chess problem - A chess problem, formally called a chess composition, is a puzzle set by somebody using chess pieces on a chess board, presenting the solver with a particular task to be achieved. For instance, a position might be given with the instruction that white is to move first, and checkmate black in two moves against any possible defense.
