Checkmate Patterns - Learning Chess Series

"A Back-Rank Mate is a checkmate delivered by a rook or queen along the back rank in which the mated king is unable to move up the board because the king is blocked by friendly pieces (usually pawns) on the second rank."

Back-Rank Mate

"In Anastasia's Mate, a knight and rook team up to trap the opposing king between the side of the board on one side and a friendly piece on the other. This checkmate got its name from the novel "Anastasia und das Schachspiel" by Johann Jakob Wilhelm Heinse."

"The Opera Mate works by attacking the king on the back rank with a rook using a bishop to protect it. A pawn or other piece other than a knight of the enemy king's is used to restrict its movement. The checkmate was named after its implementation by Paul Morphy in 1858 at a game at the Paris opera against Duke Karl of Brunswick and Count Isouard, known as the "The Opera Game"."

Absolute pin

"A skewer is an attack upon two pieces in a line and is similar to a pin. A skewer is sometimes described as a "reverse pin"; the difference is that in a skewer, the more valuable piece is in front of the piece of lesser value. If the piece being attacked is a king, then it is an Absolute Skewer. The king is said to be skewered."

Absolute Skewer

"The word "Zugzwang" comes from German, and means "being forced to make a move". A player is in Zugzwang when it's their turn and every possible move makes their position worse.

In the above example, if black would only move his king to c8 then Rook to the back rank would be check mate, you can force the king to c8 by simply taking away every other option. "

Zugzwang

"Whether you call it Zwischenzug (from German), Intermezzo (from Italian), an intermediate move or just an in-between move, it's all the same thing. It's a very common tactic that you need to know because it happens in almost all chess games. A Zwischenzug is when a player, instead of playing the expected move, often a recapture, plays another move that makes an immediate threat that the opponent must answer, before playing the original expected move."
