Checkmate in One - Chess PositionsHere you can train your mind to find the checkmate in one.Those chess positions are pretty easy, so get your old thinking cap going. I expect you to solve that in no time at all.Hey! And don't look for the solutions at the bottom!
Solutions to the positions aboveWhen you have problems reading chess notation then click here!Pos 1 ...Rd1++ Pos 2 ...Nf2++ Pos 3 Qxh6++ Keep in mind that the queen can't be captured as the pawn g7 is pinned by the bishop e5. Pos 4 Rh3++ Pos 5 ...Qg2++ Pos 6 ...Qg2++ Pos 7 ...e1Q++ the pawn promotes to a Queen and checkmates at the same time! Pos 8 Qd8++ Pos 9 Rg8++ Pos 10 Qxf7++ Hint: If you look at a position to solve any chess problems there is a trick of how to do it more efficiently. Here it is.Don't look at the chess pieces!You probably ask yourself: How on earth can I solve any chess problems without looking at the pieces at all?The answer is: Apply X-Ray Vision!When you look at certain positions just look at the diagonals of the bishops or at the squares a particular knight. When you see a rook, just look at the files and ranks which the rook controls. And look through the other pieces that are blocking the diagonal or file then you might see often amazing combinations. But don't look at the chess piece itself.
Keep in mind! The square on which a chess piece is placed is NOT controlled by this particular piece!That means that a knight or bishop is not controlling the square on which it stands, but controls only other squares.So never look at the piece itself!
