Recap: Basic Mates
Part of the Basic Mates section of Coddy's Endgames journey. Lesson 26 of 26.
The whole section in ten boards. Heavy pieces climb the staircase; a queen boxes and her king walks; a rook walls, waits and checks the edge; a helper guards the queen's square; two bishops meet in the corner. And before every quiet move, count his squares.
