What is a pillsbury's mate?

A rook and bishop team up against a castled king: the rook crashes through on the g-file while the bishop rakes the long diagonal.

How to spot it

Open g-file, fianchetto-diagonal bishop, king on the short side — sacrifice material to open both lines simultaneously.

What this set trains

Core attacking pattern against fianchetto and castled structures alike.
