CHESS NOTATIONS

Anastasia's Mate: This mate is more common after the enemy king has already castled. It
involves one piece blocking a square right next to the enemy king (usually a pawn). You will
also need a knight and a rook to checkmate your opponent.
Arabian Mate: The Arabian Mate is reached when a knight and rook work together to
checkmate the king. The knight protects the rook and blocks the escape square of the king.
Back Rank Mate: The Back Rank Mate is very common in chess, so it is a good idea to be
able to identify when this pattern appears on the board. This mate involves taking advantage
of a wall created by your opponent's pieces in front of their king, leaving just one rank for it.
You can then use a rook or a queen to attack that rank, checkmating your opponent.
Checkmate: A checkmate (also known as "mate") occurs when a king is place in check and
has no legal moves to escape. When a checkmate happens, the game ends immediately, and
the player who delivered the checkmate wins.
FIDE: Acronym for Federation Internationale Des Echecs (World Chess Federation).
File: The vertical lines on a board are call files. The files (columns) are label from a - h.
Fool's Mate (Two-Move-Checkmate): The Fool's Mate is the fastest checkmate in chess,
happening only after two moves! To accomplish this feat, you need to play as Black (White
can checkmate in three moves), and your opponent must play very poorly. It involves
attacking the weak e1-h4 diagonal against White or the e8-h5 diagonal against Black.
Legal's Mate: The Legal's Mate is another opening trap that comes after one-player
sacrifices the queen to force a mate. These moves need to perform by both players for this
mating pattern to occur.
NN: An unknown player, usually an amateur.
Rank: The horizontal lines on a board are call ranks. The ranks (rows) are number from 1 - 8.
Scholar's Mate (Four-Move-Checkmate): The Scholar's Mate is an opening trap that
catches many beginners off guard. It is also a quick mate that can happen after just four
moves and involves attacking the weak f2 and f7-squares.
Score Sheet: Written chess notation recording is often necessary when participating in chess
tournaments. In many tournaments, players are required to record their games notation on a
score sheet.
Smothered Mate: The Smothered Mate gets its name from the fact that the king has no
"breathing room" and thus cannot escape any threat. That is when a knight can jump in and
take advantage of the king's restricted moves to end the game in style!
