Checkmating Patterns
The 3-Step System to Quickly Learning the Chess Patterns and Instantly Recognizing them in Your Own Games
A couple of years ago, I was playing in a local tournament… and I was on fire. I was getting great positions, dictating play, finding tactics – everything was going my way.
But I’ll always remember the last round. A win guaranteed second place and the $500 prize.
My opponent played solidly, castling kingside in a Caro-Kann. But I was out for blood. Around move 20, I ripped open his king position with a knight sac, gaining 2 pawns as I chased his king around.
Then came the critical position.
One more move and his king would get to safety. The only way I could prevent this was to sac another piece. After staring at the board for 20 minutes, I decided it was too risky and backed off, eventually drawing a painful endgame.
When I put the game on the computer later, it showed I’d missed a mate in 5!!!
Have you had games like this?
Where you’re sure there’s a win but can’t quite prove it so play something less risky?

This is a complete training in the art of checkmate, using studies, tactical positions, and full games to teach you how to finish games with attacking play. And it is all based on a simple, yet very powerful 3-step-system for learning PATTERNS.
How does the training works?
- First, you learn the pattern itself.
- Next, you train on puzzle examples.
- And finally, you go over Grandmasters’ games to make sure you recognize this exact pattern in the game environment
This system ensures that you add every single of these checkmating patterns into your chess toolbox and ready to use it in your next game!
