Yeah i didnt find the rook check in This variation either.. Not easy to spot the open file for the rook when its closed in the starting position. So i thought h7 looked crushing. Perhaps it is.. But i didnt see any forced mate there.

Puzzle answer ( I think) Knight to a7 He needs to capture with his knight, then rook to C1 If Black queen covers then QxC7 If knight covers then rook captures knight so black takes rook with pawn then bishop to a6 checkmate
I also love it when you said "It's a beautiful smothered checkmate". I did that once.

(Knight a7 knight a7) (rook c1 knight c6) (rook c6 pawn c6) (bishop f1#) Checkmate Your videos are really fabulous . Amazing mind blowing moves. ❤❤❤
I always get stuck in the middle games. I think with this video, that is ruled out. Thank you🙏
My attempt for the puzzle: Knight to A7 check, sacrificing our Knight. Black Knight takes the white Knight for free. Then we will play Rook C1 check. He has to block with the Knight, Knight C6. ( Because obviously we don't want to lose our queen.. right? ) Then the Rook takes the Knight on C6. Pawn captures Rook. And now we will play Bishop to A6. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲. Edit: Dang it! Somebody already solved the puzzle! Welp, at least I tried! Hehehe 😅
Love the idea of seeing an application of every mate involving a sacrifice, considering pins and other tactics. A wonderful and sweet short review. Very useful for people who are scared to sacrifice and cannot see all tactics.

Knight to a7, check. Black takes knight via knight (forced move). Rook C1, check. Black's best move, knight c6. Rook takes knight c6. Check again. Black takes rook via pawn. Bishop to A6. Mate🔥. Nice puzzle
This is the video I've been waiting for. Thank you! 😊👍
Very interesting video. The Legal's Mate is very interesting. I deal back rank, supported-queen/other piece and corridor mates most often against the computer. I thought Na7 (kNight to a7) was the best move (this was before I looked at the comments; the comments confirmed my theory. I won't explain how checkmate occurs; others have done so earlier). Great job!
Thanks!!! Been waiting for someone to make this video for awhile!😊😊👍🏾👍🏾 So good
I rarely sub and like I honestly forget. This is the only channel I've done it on consistently so far. I use my liked videos to go back and rewatch important videos. I just subscribed and I'm sorry I should've done it sooner. Your analysis videos and breakdowns are the best there is in my opinion. Very easy to understand and you don't just assume we know everything and explain things other advanced players assume we know or should know. Thank you 😊
One of the best and most useful video for an amature like me.
I think smoothered mate is the best pattern because it gives the value of single piece
Puzzle : 1. Na7+ Nxa7 2. Rc1+ Nc6 3. Rxc6+ bxc6 4. Ba6# Beautiful video sir!, so much to learn and I really love the smothered/Suffocation mate!! especially the puzzle for the same!! Tq
Ans: Na7+ Nxa7 Rc1+ Nc6 Rxc6 bxc6 Ba6#......! Very informative video.....well done....!
Very Informative Video👌Loved it ♥️
Great channel
this channel actually deserves 1,000,00 subscribers! hope to see more of your tricks and traps!
I really like the smothered mate too!
Nice! Some of these are really interesting.
My favourite checkmates are the ones where pieces on the mated king’s team block it from escaping. I love you Jeetendra. Thank you so much for showing these checkmate patterns
Smothered mate is my favorite.. Thank you so much Sir. I learned lot of check mate patterns today.
I like how you explain and show why the names are used. (I have yet to see the Back Rank Mate be the most common though - at least not for me.)
This was just what I wanted! Thank you.
Puzzle answer- First, Rook to c1 to pin the Knight. Then, if the player understood, then he will take the Queen. If not, then Na7#.
Puzzle solution: 1. Na7+ force to capture Nxa7 2.Rc1+ Nc6 force(if Qc7 Qxc7#) 3.Rxc6+ bxc6 4.Ba6#
Excellent video made to see check mating patterns with beautiful examples to show how they are applied

The answer of the puzzle - First the Knight should move to A7 and then most of the people takes the Knight with their Knight. The you just move your Rook to A1 and then capture his Knight at A7 then when you move your Rook to A8 and then that's a beautiful checkmate.
Great work man. Keep rocking

1.Na7+.Nxa7.2.Rc1+.Nc6.3.Rxc6.bxc6.4.Ba6#
The first move is Na7+ followed by Nxa7 and Rc1+. Now if you block with the queen then Qxc7# is a swallow's tail mate on the back rank but if you block with the knight then Rxc6+ happens, bxc6 is forced and then Ba6# is a Balestra mate.
Yeeeoww, was spectacular Chess Talk And wish you a very happy Christmas in advance.
Sir, this video is very useful for intermediate players like me. 🙏
Thanks a lot. Really an educative video. Keep making videos like this✌
The position which you have posted in the last is Balestra's Mate and the answer is 1.Na7+ Nxa7 2.Rc1+ Nc6 3.Rxc6 bxc6 4.Ba6#
Na7+ Nxa7 Rc1+ Nc6 Rxc6 bxc6 Ba6 # Solution to puzzle This is the Balistra Mate!!
Now I know the 32 checkmate pattern mates because of chess talk😀
1)Na7+ Nxa7 2)Rc1+ Nc6 3)Rxc6+ bxc6 4)Ba6#
Balestra mate: 1. Na7+ Nxa7 ➡️ 2. Rc1+ (2… Qc7 3. Qxc7 support mate) Nc6 3. Rxc6 bxc6 4. Ba6#
Answer for the puzzle: 1. Na7!! Sacrificing a Knight for checkmate. White has to accept the Knight so Nxa7. 2. Rc1 check, only move for black is Knight back to c6 so Nc6. Then comes the final blow 3. Rxc6 and white is completely busted, again the only move is pawn takes c6 so bxc6. 4. And now Ba6 is a beautiful mate as the Queen covers all the important squares and the Bishop delivers checkmate.
Today I learn many mating patterns because of chess talk .Thank u so much sir❤
This is an awesome content! Thanks for the tips!!
Solution to the puzzle.. 1. Na7+... Nxa7 (only possible move for black) 2.Rc1+... Nc6(only possible move for black to defend the mate) 3.Rxc6+(rook sac...) ...bxc6(only possible move) 4.Ba6#
