Line 67:
**'''Three-movers''': White to move and checkmate Black in no more than three moves against any defence.
**'''More-movers''': White to move and checkmate Black in {{mvar|n}} moves against any defence, where {{mvar|n}} is some particular number greater than three.
**'''Many-movers''': White to move and checkmate Black in a great number of moves. Problems have been composed in which White must mate Black in over 100 moves; the current record for such a composition is over 200 moves. These usually involve frequent repetitions of the same manoeuvre in order to force deletirious pawn advances.
*'''[[Helpmate]]s''': Black to move first cooperates with White to get Black's own king mated in a specified number of moves.
*'''[[Selfmate]]s''': White moves first and forces Black (in a specified number of moves) to checkmate White.
