An Introduction to Chess: Ways to terminate a game

How do chess games end? In a previous article it was stated that the principal aim of chess was not to swap pieces, but rather to checkmate the King. According to my research, there are eight ways to terminate (win/lose) a chess game. These are: 

1. Checkmate

2. Resignation

3. Timeout

4. Draw/Stalemate

5. Insufficient material

6. 50-move rule

7. Repetition

8. Agreement
