	Mark Lowery's Exciting World of Chess - Moving Pieces and Advancing pawns - Part 1 of 4
		Combination as applied in chess has far greater importance and breadth because it pointedly refers to the recognition that the primary objective - checkmate, and the alternative objectives, draw and stalemate, can never be reached without pieces and/or pawns successfully combining their individual powers to reach the intended ultimate goal.
		Combination therefore is the bedrock upon which a player builds the framework through pattern recognition of moving pieces and advancing pawns to successfully attain the ultimate goal - checkmate - or the alternatives - draw or stalemate.
		The prime importance of combination also is seen when realizing that even the great power of the Queen will yield to the greater power of the opposing King (the most powerful pieces on the chessboard) without the aid of one or more of her other pieces and/or pawns.

	Combination (chess) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.
		A combination is usually built out of more fundamental chess tactic s such as forks, pins, skewers, undermining, discovered attack s, etc. Thus a combination must be at least three moves long, but the longer it takes to recoup the initial sacrifice, the more impressive the combination.
		The concept of combination in chess is similar that of boxing, wrestling, and other martial art s.

	Glen Downey on Vladimir Nabokov in The Antigonish Review Issue 121
		Chess might initially appear to be an appropriate means for Luzhin to sublimate his own inner conflict because by embodying the fundamental tension between the need for embracing familiar patterns and the equally important need for escaping unfamiliar patterns, the game serves as a perfect metaphor for his childhood experiences.
		However, because chess does not resolve its inherent tensions and allow the compulsive player to transcend or escape the game - but only to play it over and over again - Luzhin's desperate efforts to avoid constantly replaying the events of his life are ultimately doomed to end in self-mate.
		He is lovable, this child within a monster, this 'chess moron,' and we want him to go on, to finish his classic chess game with Turati, and, win or lose, to play other games, to warm and dazzle the exquisite twilit world of his preoccupation with the limpidity and lightness'ofhis thought" (qtd.

	John & Belle Have A Blog: Now we see wherein lies the pleasure
		A combination composed of a sacrifice has more immediate effect upon the person playing over the game in which it occurs than another combination, because the apparent senselessness of the sacrifice is convincing proof of the design of the player offering it.
		Themes in chess, it may be explained, are such devices as forelaying, withdrawing, pinning, unpinning and so forth; but it is only when they are combined in a certain way that a problem is satisfying.
		Chess is a nice example, of course, because chess players only calculate around the edges even though the essence of the thing is so clearly mathematically pure.

	quotes
		Here, the game of chess is both the subject of a 15th century Flemish painting and the heart of a murder mystery that can only be solved by determining how the chess pieces in the painting reached their positions on the board.
		When chess is turned into the form of a piece of fiction, however, it becomes transparent, and the games are played, not on an actual board, but upon the landscape of the author's imagination.
		In Through the Looking Glass the conceit is transparent--when Alice leaps the stream and finds a crown on her head we know that she has advanced to the last rank on the board and undergone the transformation known as pawn promotion--but other writers have taken pains to embed the game within narratives of erstwhile realism.
