6 steps · Interactive

Anastasia's Mate is named after the novel 'Anastasia und das Schachspiel' (1803). It features a rook delivering checkmate on the h-file (or a-file), with a knight and the edge of the board trapping the king. The king is caught between the knight's control and the board's edge.
