I am making a list of all common checkmate patterns with name, could you help me please?
- Back rank checkmate
- Rook and Queen checkmate
- King and Queen checkmate
- Dovetail or Cozio's checkmate = when the queen checkmates diagonally because the king is trapped by his own army.
- Anastasia's checkmate = similar to the back rank but it the knight guard the opened squares; it can also happen on a/h files.
- Arabian checkmate = knight on c6 or f6 with rook or queen on a7/b8 h7/g8.
- Boden's checkmate = checkmate when the bishops or queen + bishop cross both King's diagonals.
- Damiano's checkmate = pawn on b6 or g6, you sacrifice the rook on a8 or h8 just to bring the queen and mate on a7/h7.
- Smothered (Philidor's) checkmate = when the knight checkmates the King completely stuck by his own army; the Phillidor's mate is a tricky sequence with a queen sacrifice ending with a smothered checkmate.
These are the ones I remember now. Do you remember any other famous and named checkmate pattern?
