Ice Skater Mate: Slide Into Checkmating Your Opponent With This Checkmate Pattern in Chess

Editorial Staff by Editorial Staff
in Checkmates Patterns, Chess Strategy

The Ice Skater Mate is a checkmate pattern in chess where a rook or a queen attacks the king on the back rank that is blocked by all three of his pawns after castling.

Examples

There is a game that Hikaru Nakamura played at just 11 years of age where his opponent resigned in 11 moves. He goes through a line where an ice skater mate could have occurred.

The rook would have checkmated black’s king with an ice skater since all three pawns were blocking the kings escape.
