| | Mark Lowery's Exciting World of Chess - Moving Pieces and Advancing pawns - Part 1 of 4 |
| | If the player is unable to perceive how it will or could be able to be combined with another piece move or pawn advance either by the player or the opponent, then the player generally becomes lost in trying to successfully utilize that goal within his or her game plan. | | | Hence, the importance of combination is both exhibited and emphasized by the very nature of a game of chess. | | | Often there are a great many combinations which are played out during a chess game...some alone to reach certain goals at particular times, others together in series and sequences to reach other goals. |

| | The closest established board game I know of is shogi, Japanese chess, with a 9x9 board. | | | The game is won when the Princess is captured, though as with checkmate she is never actually removed from the board; a player moves his attacking piece to the same square as the opposing Princess. | | | This is quite similar to a chess Knight, with two exceptions: the Thoat cannot leap intervening pieces, and when not blocked it can also access the four squares orthogonally adjacent, for example here, where it stands on f6, by going to f7 then g6. |

| | Although the first computer chess programs that could play by the rules emerged in 1958, even the best were playing only at a rank beginner level by 1966, presenting no challenge to an average player. | | | It gives points for pieces that control certain squares (by being able to move or capture on those squares); for passed pawns that have gotten past their opponent's pawns; for pins, in which a weaker piece is immobilized because it shields a more valuable one; and so on. | | | That was good enough to play at the United States Chess Federation master level in tournaments against humans. |

| | Combination (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The concept of combination in chess is similar that of boxing, wrestling and other martial arts. | | | 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. | | | (The moves are given in algebraic chess notation.) |

Apparently, the book is intended to be a "unique chess puzzle challenge. | | | Other than short discussions of three general approaches, "Storming the Fortress", "The King-Hunt" and "The Back Rank", there is no identification of individual elements associated with these categories. |
