There is only one real way to win a game of chess. That is to the checkmate the king. Players often resign, but only because they think they will be checkmated eventually anyway. A mate may come as a single move, like a bolt from the blue. These are mates in one. More often there is a mating attack consisting of a sequence of alternating checks and check evasions. The final check is mate. A check is the most powerful move in Chess. The most powerful way to attack is to connect a series of checks. The author draws from many positions that the author has used in years of chess coaching as a FIDE Master. There are over 1000 diagrams which include mates in one, mates in two, mates in three and mates in four or more moves by each player.
