5Note for Coaches, Parents, Teachers, and Trainers

By solving the problems in the first volume of this series, students reinforced their basic knowledge of the rules of the game and got a feel for the relative strengths of the pieces. By solving the problems in the second collection, students acquired their first skills at checkmating the king, and learned to quickly give mate in one in simple positional setups.

With the problems in the third collection, we aim to: 1) help students to see patterns in multi-piece positions in the opening and the middlegame; 2) teach students to use important tactical tools such as pins, discovered checks, and double checks to deliver mate; 3) familiarize them with the typical mating scenarios that arise no later than the 16th move of the game in various chess openings primarily in those that beginners play at first (mainly the open and half-open games); 4) teach them to develop a feel for the smallest changes in the position of the pieces (to this end, we offer pairs of middlegame and endgame situations in which a slight difference in the initial position leads to different mechanisms for achieving mate); and 5) provide practice in giving mate in six- and seven-piece pawn, minor-piece and major-piece endings.

Mate-in-one problems are still an underestimated theme in the training of novice chessplayers. The inability to quickly find an opportunity to give mate in one in any position has a negative effect on a players development. The majority of modern games end with both players short on time (in time trouble), and in those conditions the one whose skill at giving mate in one has become automatic enjoys a serious advantage. But not knowing just one of the typical mating setups, or being unable to see it in a complicated piece arrangement, often leads to defeat even for the experienced player.
