One of the most satisfying moments in chess is when you see several moments ahead and your opponent has no idea that you already won the game or what is about to happen. Combinations are series of forcing moves, often involving sacrifices, that can help to win the game, let's see some forced moves combinations. Black's king has no legal moves to make, that's often a signal that checkmate is incoming. If only white can find a way to remove the b7 pawn, he can deliver a checkmate with his white square bishop. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNihYDqS9RowhtMey5DRLPQLRCzEk8Qw2CKSPFoCLa6XD/image.png) We can sacrifice the Queen, forcing the b7 pawn to recapture the Queen to stop the check, and then we just move the light square bishop to a6. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXNMLMmmin7uRkJ5B4BBvrbseJ3My2fvCjMRxM8BCRrxJ/image.png) There we go, checkmate. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdAkdm9tXiVjd1DtP4ue5CLkUuxy32zteS9QZb2WzETL6/image.png)
