About This Video:

Mating nets in chess are similar to mating patterns but with a few key differences. Unlike checkmate patterns that have a set number of moves, for example: mate-in-1, mate in 2, mate in 3, and so on, mating nets might not be so quick. But through slow and steady pressure, usually you can achieve victory by trapping your opponents king and then bring in reinforcements.
