Basic Mates
(Return to Games, or March 2005 Lesson)
The following basic mating patterns come from Danny Kopec's excellent book: Practical Middlegame Techniques, Cadogan Books, 1997, pages 9-12. To see how these "A-Z" mates actually occur in real games, read the rest of Danny's book. A.J. Goldsby added the classic back-row Rook mate. Dan Thomasson programmed the mating patterns into this playable PGN formatted file.
