Excellent video series Ingvar. I hope you do more, they are very important ideas to learn for new players to the game, as well as others that want to brush up on their tactical knowledge, and some of these mates are very difficult to find. It even got Karpov, among many other victims. Thanks again and great job.

Increadible article, I like it a lot!

Great video.Thanks

Love your videos FM Ingvar.

Your first mate in this video reminds me of one of my own.

Keep the great videos coming...

in the 2nd skeleton diagram there is an annoyanyance because there are two solutions with the same amount of moves that are different patterns. a great puzzle should have only solutions that apply to the theme being presented. minor annoyance because in instruction it is not clear which one is prefered or better (neither, it is just style) and this muddies the issue. the skeleton with the Q can also be played with N7+ Kg8 Nh6+ (double check) and mating with the queen (another forced line besides the solution!). why babble about this, i watched zibb's other vids and he's a good teacher so i can't help but notice it!

who writes the funny asides/summaries of the video? jedis! outstanding

You should make it William mate because Williams are just awesome for capaplanca mate,and because that mate is awesome.You should also call the other one Li mate because genaral li invented sacrafisises1

[COMMENT DELETED]

Great... i love it!

Useable... i hope someday!

Anyone tried it in a game?

thanks I liked the mates.  Great video loved it.  

nice i like  a perfect voice thank you too

Just another outstanding video from Ingvar.  Direct, relevant and without the editorial asides so prevelant in viedos of others.  

very nice

very cool.

Great lecture, very detailed with tons of relevant examples.  Chess teachers needing lecture material should get their pens and paper out.

You need to call it the Johannesson mate instead of the Capablanca mate because you make it look so damn smooth.

The giant Polgar book seemed to have that type of mate every second position.

awsome

cool, thanx! I hope in the last lecture you'll do some sort of exam with all sorts of (checkmate patterns) puzzlez mixed together :)

I know this as greco's mate

Best video description ever if you ask me ;)
