The Alarm
Part of the Basic Mates section of Coddy's Endgames journey. Lesson 20 of 26.
Every mate in this section ends the same way: his king has no squares. The difference between a win and a draw is one word - check. No squares and check is mate; no squares and no check is stalemate, half a point. Before every quiet move, count his squares. If the answer is zero, stop.
