Checkmate Patterns Curriculum
"The first thing the student must do is to learn how to spot the mates. One will never be a good player if one cannot detect these mates and if one does not know how to carry them out." - The Art of Checkmate by Georges Renaud and Victor Kahn
"Modern chess is too much concerned with things like pawn structure. Forget it, checkmate ends the game." - Nigel Short
