If you are a beginner, you can’t afford to miss mate in one if you want to improve. This course addresses that problem. This huge number of exercises also makes it an excellent tool for speed training, even for stronger players.

Elementary Checkmates I: This program includes 40,000 exercises taken from practical games with few pieces left on the board. It is intended for players with USCF rating of 300 or higher.

Even if you only study and solve 10% of the exercises, you will learn a huge number of mating patterns and probably never miss a mate in one again!
