> Please check it carefully, the example which is given for solving i.e. the study one, is same for both, Morphy and Greco Mate....
Oh, sure.
Now, I understand what you meant.
Fixed. Thank you very much :)
I think cozio mate is also known as Dovetail mate. For once when I saw it, I thought it was a mistake(as i learnt it as dovetail mate!) and quickly checked in google and realized both are same. LOL!

But otherwise it is all right! thank you @Avetik_ChessMood for the blog!
Yes, it is important to remember checkmate patterns in chess (not the names!). Learning these patterns can help you recreate them in your games, trap your opponent, prevent your opponents from using them against you, improve your game and increase your chances of winning. Pattern recognition is one of the most important things in chess. Knowing key checkmate patterns can give players a significant advantage by allowing them to spot opportunities to deliver checkmate and defend against it.
jeez!! what kinda NM can't solve that? i guess i can call myself a NM level player now lol. anyway, it was a great blog. i found it really useful and interesting
Man, I've enjoyed this article a lot, and I think I've learnt some ones I didn't know.
I just wish I had had this material thirty years ago!
The names might be good as shortcut for discussion or communication (or tools testing our pattern recognition with words). to identify patterns w.r.t. others. but what matters for the chess learning as player, is really the static trigger on board and knowing what to do then. (static pattern recognition and dynamic pattern application). the names are just scaffold. useful to claim existence of pattern in teaching and learning from others.
I found a new way to get good at chess, lichess captcha
