    1. Mate in one move

    It is always more important to find a lot of options in the first move than to calculate a lot of
    moves. ‘Mate in one move is a position when a player to move can do checkmate to the
    opponent in the next move’. To achieve this always use the king’s weakness (the king cannot
    enter the danger square, the king cannot capture the protected piece, there must always be at
    least one square between two kings).

    Diagram 1.1 Diagram 1.2

    In diagram 1.1, we can observe that the white Rook at g4 is blocking the entire ’G’ file. Later, in
    diagram 1.2, The white Rook at f3 moves to h3 and does the checkmate since the king cannot
    enter the dangerous squares.
