Setting Up Checkmate Patterns Tactics course by CraftyRaf PGN ONLY Chessable

Learn the Forcing Moves that Set Up Winning Combinations

Checkmate opportunities are so rarely served on a silver platter.

And what good are all the checkmate patterns you know if you’re never in the situation to execute them?

Well, with this course, you’ll learn how to play the forcing moves that create these checkmating opportunities!

As part of his hit series on checkmating patterns, famed Chessable author Raf Mesotten, a.k.a. “CraftyRaf”, brings you the tools you need to “set the table” for a delectable mating attack.

Raf’s process is simple yet highly effective:

1. Roll the checkmate pattern starting positions a few moves back to when the conditions for an attack came together

2. Find the move that delivers your opponent an ultimatum – “Either you concede X, or I mate you!”

3. Practice these for all the major checkmating patterns, graduating the difficulty as you go through 5 levels

The calculation skills and pattern recognition you’ll build in this course will serve you very handily in real games. That’s because these puzzles are taken from real games! Raf diligently scoured the databases for the most common mating attacks to put together the most practical guide available for the improving chess player.
