Queen and Knight
Part of the Basic Mates section of Coddy's Endgames journey. Lesson 16 of 26.
A queen with a helper mates faster than a queen with her king, because the helper never has to walk. The knight is her bodyguard: it guards the square beside the enemy king so she can step onto it. Find the square the knight already guards - that is where the queen goes.
