Maradonna- Yes, it is my game. I don't play the Caro-Kann, but I think it's a common attack since I've actually got to put my knight there twice in games.

Sorry bout ma english. I think my favourite ones are the Fegatelo atacks ones.

 

This is not a mate, but this position not rarely results in mate :-p

Ah yes! I've been beaten many times with those moves. Black needs to play 5...Na5 6.Bb5+...c6 7.dxc6...bxc6. Capturing 5..Nxd5, is what allows the strong mating attack, is this correct? I've seen Paul Morphy games where he has got real nice checkmates from that sort of opening.

You definitely can't get checkmate like that, or else you wouldn't be "clearly, miserably, losing."

my favorite mate the legals mate when opponents fall for your queen.

Just randomly move all the pieces until you find a position where your opponent can't make a move.

Forcing the King into a back rank mate from one side of the board to the other. Another good mate is the smothered mate.

Avatar of Hugh_T_Patterson

I should say that any checkmate is a good thing, unless of course your the one who gets mated!

With a knight, that is always fun.

It gets more easy if the Queen is available and can help the minor pieces, espeacially the Knights.
