Typical Checkmate Patterns #4: Boden's Mate (Beginner Chess Lesson) 

at 16:10 Rosen: Oh no my Rook! Rosen: Oh no my other Rook! Rosen: Oh no my Queen! Rosen: Uno Reverse Card~

Zolpi, your instructive videos on this RU-vid channel are absolutely lovely. Never change. You are 100% one of the absolute nicest chess teachers. The last example was fantastic. And your expression made me laugh with joy. Thank you so much.

that morphy boden was a work of art. i was visualizing it , hard to find but so artsy

First! Love your checkmate series, you should do one on endgames too :)

I actually got a Boden's Mate today on lichess because I remembered your video. Great stuff!

I like that you don't just show the basic mating pattern, but explain how to achieve it and then go into sample games where we see it implemented and you challenge us to find our way to it. Beginners often don't understand Queen sacrifices in games they study moves of...even in this case where it leads to mate...so it's good to remind them they can part with their Queen if the opponent leaves their King in mate. I also like that you emphasize the Queen sacrifice doesn't need to be a capture. Beginners often don't understand the idea of "key squares". They're looking for captures on, and defenses of, occupied squares. I love your content and always look forward to viewing more.

POV: You sold your soul to satan for chess lessons

16:11 The nice thing about takes on b4 is that the black Queen got no square on the a file, so mate is inevitable XD

I am expecting another check mate video. Thank you.

Just started playing chess. These patterns are pure art. Thanks for the videos.

I've had a Boden's mate in a game and it feels NICE being able to pull it off. This video made a few things clearer for me. Now I'm heading to chess.com live games to seek out some Boden's mates! Thanks! :)

I learn a lot from this bodens mate

Love these kind of checkmate series.Keep it up!!

There is no word better than the best

Miraculous Master Schranz! M waiting for the checkmate pattern # 5...

Great video!

I want to see this mate pattern crop up in one of your blitz games

4th time's the charm. Awesome game examples

love these videos , thanks

For the suckers who fall for this trap it seems so unfair cause they castled into MATE! How crushing!!!

more patterns Please

Beautiful

I did win with a Boden’s Mate against my father-in-law, following a sacrifice (I can’t remember what piece). It was so exciting that I lost my ability to be a humble winner.

14:32 what if black plays Ne7 instead of Be7 at first. Then the bishop defends the f6 square (after Rxe7 Bxe7) . What is shown is mate in 4. Can someone show the mate in 6?

Demon Red eyes

For the last game, what if black queen doesn't take the 2nd rook but moves back to help with defense? Oh Osama Sabasoub answered my question, the black queen has no safe squares to retreat too.

Learnt a lot and tried and was lucky to win a game using this. Thanks Jonathan, here's the match : lichess.org/IOcxPymJ

@8:00 how black gets checkmated from f6?

16:10 I saw it immediately and I started to laugh

COOOOL

Also, the green screen is glitching a bit around your glasses

Imagine sacrificing two rooks and a queen to make a Boden's mate. Does Jesus come down and personally shake your hand?

What are you wearing homes!!?
