What you'll learn

Convert a winning game into a win.

Winning material is only half the battle — you still have to deliver mate. A handful of basic checkmates come up again and again, and each is a forced win once the technique is in your hands.

We'll see how two rooks mate alone, why a single queen or rook needs your king's help, then you'll deliver each one against the engine.

  • Three mates to own: two rooks, king + queen, king + rook.
  • All work by fencing the king to the edge.
  • Watch each, then do each.
