Puzzles: King and Queen
Part of the Basic Mates section of Coddy's Endgames journey. Lesson 9 of 26.
Eight king-and-queen endings, each a mate in two. In every one the first move is quiet - a king step, or a queen move that takes squares away - and the check comes second. Count his squares after your first move: more than zero, and no check, is exactly right.
