Mating Problems

For Christmas I got a book by Laszlo Polgar with over 5000 Chess problems, mostly mating problems. Taking this book as my inspiration, I have begun on a similar collection of mating problems for Cavalier Chess. Some are from actual games, and most were created from scratch. Those I created from scratch are fairly simple and repititious. The purpose behind this is to systematically teach different kinds of basic mating techniques through repeated examples. As this collection grows, it will come to include more complex problems and eventually mate-in-two problems. There are over fifty problems right now. You will notice that the first 55 problems do not use the three-colored board. I made them before I thought to change the board, and I don't want to load and recolor 110 diagrams. Cavalier Chess can be played with a two-color board, and I don't think these diagrams are significantly hurt by not using the three-color board.

Begin with Problem #1 and put a bookmark whereever you leave off and want to continue.

If you got this file with the Cavalier Chess archive and don't find any mating problems, it is because I put the mating problems in a separate archive. You can download the full archive from:
