The Finish
Part of the Basic Mates section of Coddy's Endgames journey. Lesson 8 of 26.
Every king-and-queen ending ends in one of two pictures. The kiss: the queen steps beside his king, guarded by yours. The edge check: the queen checks along the edge line while your king, a knight's move away, covers the squares in front. Both need the king; neither needs a second thought - except the stalemate beside them.
