1? (#6) | Corridor mate
The most common checkmate; in this version black can only delay the unavoidable with five piece interference before dying. |
1? (#2) | Queen-pawn assault
A classic assault to the castle. This kind of assault is quite common in real games. |
1? (#2) | Bishop+Rook checkmate
Quite common mate. |
1? (#5) | Anastasia's mate
This checkmate is rare in real games and is difficult to see for the novice; it's anyway an important combination because variations on this line of attack to the King are common. |
1? (+/-) | Shoulder mate
Somewhat rare combination in real games, but something that a player must pay attention to. |
1? (+/-) | Knight+Bishop castle attack
Castle attack no so uncommon in real games as one may expect. |
1? (+/-) | Queen fight
It's uncommon to see a Queen unable to save her King from a mate threat. Rare position but not impossible in real games. |
1? (+/-) | R+R+Q attack
This kind of attack faces sometimes in real games; it's a kind of combination that a player should consider. |
1? (#2) | Horse Power
Sometimes the power of an horse is just impressing |
1? (#7) | Drowned
The white seems having a lost position and indeed it won the game... this kind of mate is more frequent in real games than one would probably think (often is used as a threat). |
1? (#3) | Violent chess
This kind of mate is often ruined by inexperienced players that begin giving repeated checks. The mate is just three moves away and there is no defense. |
