2 PAWN-PROMOTION MATES 5 Pawn-Promotion Mates Having a pawn near the enemy king can be the foundation for a possible mate; for example, a pawn on f6 can support a mate by the queen on g7. In this case the pawn plays a supporting role in helping another piece to deliver mate, but sometimes a pawn can be the star of the show itself. 7z-+-+nZ W& 5+-+P+p+-% 3+P+-+r+-# 2P+-+q+-+" TK! Krasenkow Bobras Polish Team Ch, Glogow 2001 Here White won prettily with the queen sacrifice 1 Ëh7+! and Black resigned (1-0). The clever point is that after 1...Êxh7 the white pawn on g7 is able to promote, and its resurrection to a new queen makes a quick checkmate possible: 2 g8ë+ Êh6 3 Ëg6#. You will soon learn to spot this classic sacrificial theme and other pawn-promotion opportunities as you work your way through the puzzles in this chapter. The power of a far-advanced pawn can be truly remarkable and if you have one near the enemy king, then sacrifices to force checkmate are often in the air.
