Sep-02-18		fredthebear: This game is an example of Anderssen's Mate w/rook in the corner supported diagonally. The classic book "The Art of the Checkmate" by Georges Renaud and Victor Kahn (champions of France in 1923 and 1934) devotes a chapter to Anderssen's Mate as a variation of typical Mate 9, which also has it's own chapter. So, both chapters should be read (p. 106-127) for better understanding. Anderssen's Mate typically has a bishop on the long diagonal, or a passed g-pawn on g2/g7 blockaded by the opposing king on it's back rank - either of which support a heavy piece giving mate in the corner. It's common for a piece sacrifice on h2/h7 to open the h-file to allow the heavy piece to enter the corner. The term "Corner Mate" is insufficient. Anderssen's Mate gives support on the diagonal to a heavy piece in the corner next to the checkmated king. Any manner of exchanges/sacrifices to reduce defenders could be involved. Perhaps the reader recognized in the pre-cursor to Anderssen's Mate in this game that the g6-pawn is pinned to the Black king by the Bb1, leaving the h5-pawn undefended for taking by the White rook. Had Black instead tried 23...Qg5? 24.QxQg5 because the h-pawn is also pinned to the Black king. It seems that Black's best defensive try was 23...f6.

Sep-02-18		fredthebear: The classic checkmate book referenced above was published by Dover in English descriptive notation. In 2015, Batsford Chess published an updated version in figurine algebraic notation. The new title dropped the second "the" so it reads "The Art of Checkmate" by Renaud and Kahn. The content is essentially the same in the updated version. It's been said that Russell Enterprises Inc. also reprinted this classic book in 2014. FTB cannot confirm this information at this time.

Dec-02-18		fredthebear: CORRECTION: The checkmate pattern above is properly called Mayet's Mate. It's called Mayet's Mate! This bishop-supports-rook pattern is named after German player Karl Mayet, who played some sporting games against Anderssen. (Incidentally, Mayet is also the first recorded victim of the Elephant Trap in the Queen's Gambit Declined back in 1848.) Germany was a leading country for chess in the 19th century. Despite the inaccuracy, FTB wholeheartedly stands behind The Art of the Checkmate as a must read for chess players. One of the book's strengths is that it includes variations of the different patterns. The reader can see the difference between Anderssen's Mate and Mayet's Mate here: http://chesslessons4beginners.com/c... Corner Mate and h-file Mate are not sufficient names for either pattern. Unfortunately, these inaccuracies have been spread about. FTB has tried to correct his own mislables.
