Could you guys please add more checkmating pattern puzzle themes, like Anastasia checkmating pattern thats already an option.

niklasf commented 1 year ago

Can you please give concrete (new) examples?

jalpp commented 1 year ago

I have some mates that can be added:

Legal mate (comes from opening trap and happens in many opening positions)

Reti’s mate (comes from rook + bishop combination when king is on c7)

Suffocation mate (similar to smothered mate but with Knight + bishop combo)

Greco’s mate (bishop or queen cover g8 + rook mate)

Opera mate ( Rook + bishop combo mate)

Be cool to add this puzzle checkmate themes because this happen a lot on games and are not that rare
