King and lady against king alone

With the Set of failures, the final king and lady against king alone is simplest, and probably the first which the beginner learns how to control. In spite of its crushing superiority, the camp having the lady must be wary of the possibilities of Pat available to still the king insulated.

The method of the profit requires, in any position, only 10 blows to the maximum. The lady will drive back the unfavourable king to the band and, its own king coming to assistance, it chechmate will era stripped on an adjacent box with the band.

Example

For an illustration of the method, to see the diagram opposite:

1.Dh1-h5 to bar the passage to the unfavourable king. 1… Re6-f6 (or for example 1… Rd6 2.Df5 etc)
2.Ra1-b2 bringing together of the King: 2… Rf6-e6
3.Rb2-c3 Re6-f6
4.Rc3-d4 Rf6-e6
5.Dh5-g6+ (pushing back the black King towards the 8th line, obviously more extremely than 5.Dh6+ Rf5). 5… Re6-e7
6.Rd4-d5 Re7-f8 (if 6… Rd7 7.Df7+ Rc8 8.Rc6).
7.Dg6-h7! not falling into the trap: 7.Re6?? or 7.Rd6?? Pat) 7… Rf8-e8
8.Rd5-e6 Re8-d8 (if 8… Rf8 9.Df7# or Dh8#)
9.Dh7-d7# (chechmate).
