“Queen against king: a knight's move away the queen boxes it in and copies its moves to the edge, then your king comes for mate. Qd3 makes the smallest box.”

The endgames every club player must know, in six parts: the basic mates, king and pawn, rook, minor-piece and queen endings, and how to trade into a won ending, each played out on the board.
