In Chess, all that matters is to checkmate your opponent. In this book, FIDE Instructor (FI) Lawrence Tavagwisa reveals some interesting checkmating patterns which he considers to be the most instructive and 'must-know'. The book features more than twenty-seven different types of checkmates with their names as well as a brief history of how the name got to be. In each chapter, one gets to solve some puzzles with the theme in question with positions taken from practical games. Solutions to all these Chess problems are made available in figurine notation at the end of the book. To bring more fun and help boost one's memory in remembering these mating patterns, detailed Chess cartoons and illustrations are included in strategic parts of the book. Enjoy!
