A systematic textbook on the most important goal in chess: how to deliver checkmate.

Gude presents a wide range of mating patterns and techniques, showing how each pair of pieces can cooperate to corner the enemy king. Once these building blocks are in place, the reader moves on to mating combinations, where material is sacrificed to clear paths for the surviving attackers. Separate chapters cover attacks against kings stuck in the centre and the standard attacks against castled positions, and the book finishes with over 300 exercises with full solutions. Antonio Gude is a Spanish chess writer and teacher whose books on tactics and beginner instruction have been long-standing best-sellers in the Spanish-speaking world.
