Morphology
The meaning 'the activity of creating and solving chess problems' is directly derivable from combining 'chess' (the game) with 'composition' (a created work or piece), so it denotes a created chess problem or artistic chess puzzle. This noun–noun compounding is a common, transparent pattern across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would likely infer the meaning.
Etymology
Chess composition as an activity name comes from the words chess and composition, meaning the game and a planned piece. It is the work of making and solving arranged positions with pieces, so the phrase means the hobby or art of creating and solving chess 'problems'.
