520    "Chess might seem a complex and mysterious game, but the 
       ultimate goal is simple: checkmate. Checkmate can occur in
       all stages of the game, from snap mates in the opening, 
       through middlegame attacks to simplified endgames. 
       Learning how to use our pieces together to corner the 
       enemy king is a fundamental skill that all chess-players 
       must constantly practice, sharpen and develop. This book 
       lays out, in systematic and thorough fashion, a wide range
       of mating patterns and techniques, in particular showing 
       how each piece-pair can combine to deliver mate. A working
       knowledge of these ideas enables players to move on to 
       mating combinations, where pieces lay down their lives so 
       that the remaining forces can deliver mate. Gude explains 
       an amazing variety of tactical devices, and illustrates 
       them in unforgettable style with some of the most 
       brilliant mating attacks from practice, new and old. There
       are chapters on how to attack kings in the center, as well
       as standard (and other!) attacks against the castled 
       position. This is a true textbook of checkmate; readers 
       will never be short of mating ideas, and will 
       instinctively know when there is a possibility to launch 
       an attack, or when they must parry the opponent’s threats.
       Fundamental Checkmates also features more than 300 
       exercises with full solutions."--provided by Amazon.com.
