The common three chains are:
Input: Packets that are destined to the router itself. For example your packets to a Winbox or terminal session; or someone pinging you.
Output: Packets that originate from the router itself. For example the packets that Winbox generates back to you; or responses to the pings mentioned above.
Forward: Packets that pass through the router, but are going to some other device. For example, packets to and from your PC while surfing the Internet.
Note that in many configurations, there is no Output chain rules (usually not needed). Also note that they may be other chains that are added for use with Jump commands.
