For anybody that is interested I put a number of mating patterns on my profile:

It was very helpful. I've checkmated my opponent in many of these ways but, I've also come into positions like these without knowing how to checkmate. In the end, I lost.
Like I said before, It was helpful.☺
OMG THANK YOU. My 10-year old checkmates totaly suck. (Well, duh, I'm 10.)
why
That's the whole thing. It ISN'T "a very common endgame". The article is wrong.
So great questions from #18 & #19

With best play, it's tough to get to that position.
that one's really good eric !....I think
so the initial position could be this ?
the problem here is that black can check w/ queen before being forced to play 1...Qe8+
here might be one....
1...Nb8
2. Ba4+ Nd7 (either one)
3. BxN NxB
4. PxN+ Kd8
Oh yes
