Introduction
This book presents 1001 checkmate exercises from recent tournament games.
The exercises are easier than those contained in my book, 1001 Checkmate
Exercises: Mastering An Essential Chess Skill, and they are more suited to
beginners or players who have little experience in chess. The previous book
is suitable for study once the reader has completed the exercises in this book.
Of course, there are many books that cover this area of the game. The book
by Renaud and Kahn [7], originally published in 1947, is the classical book
on checkmates. Gude’s book [1] is a more recent treatise on the subject. Both
books do an excellent job of classifying the standard checkmate themes.
However, the examples in both books are mostly from master games.
This book takes a different approach by offering checkmate exercises from
non-master games. In most cases, the types of checkmates seen in such
games are not the standard ones covered in the books quoted above. In
addition, many games at lower rating levels are played out to mate, and they
may feature a large material advantage for the winning side. Such games are
rarely seen at master level. This suggests that it is useful to study examples
from non-master games, as they are more typical of the types of checkmates
that are likely to occur in club and amateur games. An added bonus of this
approach is that readers are unlikely to have seen any of these positions
before.
Features of This Book

The book contains 1001 checkmate exercises from non-master games for the
reader to solve. The games scores were obtained from Mega Database 2018
from ChessBase.
The book contains mate in 1 and 2 exercises. The mate in 1 exercises are split
into two chapters. In the first chapter, the position is given just before the
mate is possible, and the reader is required to find the mate. In the second
chapter, the position is given before the losing move is made. The task is to
visualise this move, and then to find the mate. Many of these exercises
include bad blunders that thereby allow a checkmate. A supplementary
exercise in these cases is for the reader to find a better move that can
potentially avoid the checkmate, although this is not always possible.
The format of the book means that the level of visualisation required to solve
the exercises increases by one half-move (or ply in computer chess terms)
with each chapter. Hence, the exercises gradually extend the reader’s
visualisation skills, as well as improving checkmating skills.
There is only one first move that achieves the required goal for each exercise.
For the mate in 2 exercises, there may be several moves for the second move
that achieve the goal, and all of these choices are acceptable as solutions. The
mate in 1 exercises are particularly good for developing quick board vision,
and the aim is to solve these exercises quickly. Of course, the mate in 2
exercises require more work. It’s worth noting that several of the mates in the
book were missed by the players, which confirms the need to practise solving
checkmate exercises.
I have deliberately not sorted the exercises into themes. This is to provide an
environment that is closer to a real game where such hints are, of course, not
available. Therefore, the exercises are sorted alphabetically based on White’s
surname in each chapter.
Detailed solutions are provided for all the exercises, and they have been
computer-checked by several strong chess engines for accuracy. The main
engines used were Komodo 12, Houdini 6 and Stockfish 9.
Each exercise starts on a new page. A diagram of the current position is
provided, together with the requirement of the exercise. This is followed by a
page break, so that the solution is not visible. The solution is given on the
next page, where the diagram is repeated for reference. This layout works on
my Kindle Paperwhite, but I can’t guarantee that it works on all devices.
Thinking Techniques
Spotting tactics and checkmates is a basic skill that all good players need.
This skill can be improved by working through puzzle books, and there are
many of these available. The books by Heisman [2] and Nunn [4] are two
good recent examples of such books.
Purdy [6] offers a simple thinking aid for spotting combinations, including
checkmates. His concise rule is:
“In any position, present or future, look around for all possible checks, all
jump-checks, and particularly all jump-mates.”
In Purdy’s system, “jump-moves” are moves that would be possible if every
piece could jump over anything in its way and could not be captured. Purdy
gives examples of how to use this rule for improving tactical vision.
Calculating variations accurately is an essential skill, and this is covered in
various books. Kotov’s book [3] is the pioneering text in this area. His book
has been the subject of criticisms and extensions since it was published. The
books by Nunn [5] and Soltis [8] offer more recent advice.
Symbols
The game scores use standard algebraic notation. The following symbols are
also used.
x capture
+ check
# checkmate
! good move
!! brilliant move
? bad move
?? blunder
1–0 White wins the game
0–1 Black wins the game
The side to move on a diagram is denoted by a white or black circle on the

side of the diagram.
