It would be nice if they were ranked not solely based on their rarity but also on how cool they are, the intuitiveness, and how easy or hard it is to spot.

No en passant mate? My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

[Yearofthebows]

15:25 My favorite part about the mate here is that all three minor pieces control exactly two squares to trap the king. What a beautiful mate

[tastethem]

Great video! Thanks for showing the concept in simplicity, then providing the tactical real life examples.

[MrLand_RD]

I think easy mates should also be b tier max, like doing a ladder mate doesnt really make you proud but finding a queen sacrifice for an anastacia's mate has a feeling to it

[stevenplaysbone]

Smothered mate is the greatest checkmate pattern there is.

[Aleixus]

That random dude who doesn’t know how to do the king queen pattern and is like: 👁️👄👁️ why dont you tell

[farouqbaiti]

Glad you're back Volclus.
I like the way we set up the checkmate when we sacrifice pieces.
This video was Fun and Brilliant.
Thanks fro making these kind of videos.

Something neat about the Railroad Mate: in infinite chess, this is at the core of a position which is Mate-In-Omega. Placing a rook in the way of the king's escape route forces the player about to be checkmated to move the rook as far out as possible, and there are also rooks two spaces away from this rook in either horizontal direction to prevent moving the rook out of the way. Thing is, there's no limit to how far the rook can move.

I love your videos! Been lurking and watching this channel for a while, keep up the good work!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Can you make a beginner/ intermediate Ruy Lopez video? Maybe system-based, or a few different systems (eg. Anti-Berlin against Berlin, maybe the same style setup against all closed Ruy Lopez variations) just to make the Ruy Lopez a bit simpler and easier to play. Thanks, and again, Merry Christmas!

8:15 I feel like it is named Vukovic Mate because he was first to really mention mating types in his Art of Attack

[vladislavshevchenko]

I'm 1300 and even at that rating some people don't know the rook and king checkmate a lot of people blunder it in the late middle game, early endgame. They are busy capturing pawns and don't notice that the kings have opposition and your rook is just in the position for a checkmate. This saved me a few lost games

Lawnmower mate is like The beginner of mate patterns.

[FireGamingPro]

I did #35 But the king had two horseys at the both sides

[Idontwanttoexistt]

I once had an Anastasia's mate in the tournament game, where i sacrificed the queen for that and it felt pretty cool

[nilsp]

1:42 There are about a million things hard in this endgame: rounding up the king if it is not already in the corner, knowing what is won or drawn, knowing how much you can let black push the pawn... if Nd8 is what is hard to find for you there, you are probably not a chess player. Mate in 2 on such a reduced board should take you about 5 seconds, even as a mediocre amateur.

*Gets checkmate*
"We're completely winning!"
In all seriousness, thanks for the checkmate video! Some of the rarer ones were cool to see

[kissuthemoonlightfencer]

I'm 700 rated and I once had an #35 epaulette mate looking exactly like this as well, except there was an extra knight at C6

[occyhazbin]

Got epaulette mate yesterday, was good 👍
