Chess Terms

Tactics:

Fork : In which we attack two pieces athe same time

Example below shows three of them i.e. bishop knight and pawn.  

If a piece is pinned by king it can't move but pinned by queen can move but lead to loss of a queen.

Knight on c3 is pinned to king and it can't move but rook on f3 is pinned to queen it can move.

Decoy: A piece sacrifice I can't explain it but by board you could understand 

The king is defending both of the promotion squares if we play -a8 Kxa8, then c8=Q!!!

Desperado: If the piece's escape squares are blocked and the piece is attacked it couldn't survive but let our opponent capture it on our terms

The Knight is going to die anyway so we capture the pawn .

Deflection: A piece gets deflected

The bishop deflects the queen from the defence of rook and leads to checkmate.

Fork: A single piece attacks two or more enemy pieces simultaneously, forcing the opponent to move one to save it, allowing you to capture another.  

Skewer: Similar to pin piece with high value is in front 

The king has to move

Discovered Attack/ Check: A pieces gets away and revealing an attack on king or a piece.

Removal of the Defender: My favorite Tactic You take a piece which was defending another one 

We gave our bishop in exchange of bishop + knight.

Overloaded Piece: When one enemy piece has to defend many pieces ,squares etc.

In the above game Black rook is overloaded because it is Protecting 2 Pieces
