What is a "combination"?

A combination in chess is a series of moves that leads to a tactical advantage, such as winning material or achieving checkmate. Combinations often involve sacrifices, where a player deliberately gives up a piece to gain a more favorable position or to set up a winning move. They require deep calculation and foresight, as players must plan several moves ahead to execute the sequence effectively. Combinations are a key part of chess strategy and can turn the game in favor of the player who sees them and uses them correctly.
