What is a epaulette mate?

The king stands mated between its own rooks — the “epaulettes” — which occupy both escape squares. A queen delivers the blow from directly in front.

How to spot it

When enemy pieces crowd both sides of their king, a frontal queen check may be mate on the spot. Count the blocked squares before dismissing the check.

What this set trains

Teaches a counter-intuitive truth: the defender’s own pieces are often the mating net.
