Check and mate is the high point of the game. This is especially true when the mate was ''necessary'', meaning the opponent had no chance of escaping without losing material. Martin Weteschnik, author of numerous chess publications, has written what is probably the most comprehensive and up-to-date A collection of such real, compelling mating combinations has been compiled. Most of them are from recent times and from tournaments all over the world, played by world champions and top players as well as amateurs. This offers the reader various interesting training opportunities:

- He learns to recognize checkmate positions earlier and better, thus avoiding them or applying them himself.

- He can practice precise variation calculation, which will generally improve his game.

- He can increase his creativity through original mating turns and enjoy the often amazing ideas that led to the mate.

The particularly clear design allows the reader to check his solution without having to leaf through for long periods.
Starting with relatively simple tasks (but be careful! - even short checkmates can be difficult!), the book's level of difficulty increases, giving the reader the opportunity to literally "grow with the game".
