Max Euwe was a Dutch chess grandmaster and world chess champion from 1935 to 1937. His quote above captures the essence of every chess endgame by highlighting the importance of focusing on checkmate. But delivering checkmate can be complicated and highly dependent upon the position and remaining pieces on the board.

Chances are, most of the endgames you’ll play will comprise combinations of pieces that you have seen in the past or that have been seen in prior games. For that reason, it is important to prepare yourself for all known possibilities and give yourself the best chances of victory if a familiar endgame position occurs. I have selected eight of the most popular checkmate patterns and analyzed them below. By familiarizing yourself with these patterns, you will develop your understanding of the endgame and feel comfortable every time you reach that phase of the game. Although every chess game is different, and you probably won’t experience identical endgame positions multiple times, you will still be able to plan a winning strategy and execute it based on the pieces you have on the board.
