You can take coaching from titled players or watch YouTube videos. There are a lot of mating patterns so it will take you a lot of time to learn all of them.

The smothered mate is dangerous. I suggest you to learn its key ideas and solve some puzzles.

In my opinion, you should learn-

  • Lolli's Mate
  • Smothered Mate
  • Back Rank Checkmate
  • Discovered Mate
  • Kiss of Death-Checkmate
  • Fool's Mate
  • Ladder Mate
  • Scholar's Mate

You should learn the key ideas of these and solve some puzzles of these mates..
