Goal: A pawn close to the black king protects your queen — or gives checkmate itself. 4 puzzles · ★★★ = no mistakes.
Small but strong: the pawn on f6 guards the g7 square next to the black king.
Checkmate in one move.
Look at the squares your pawn protects. Can your queen go there, right next to the king?
Pawns are small but strong attackers. A pawn near the enemy king protects the squares in front of it, so your queen can land there safely and give mate.
Chapter 4 — Checkmate in one: Find the one move that leaves the king in check with no escape. Watch out for stalemate!
