Checkmate wins the game. Learning checkmate patterns helps you win games. It's that simple. Many checkmates fall into recognizable patterns.

By the time you finish this book you will be well prepared both to see danger before it strikes, and to deliver the crushing blows that win games.

With respect to homework, it is advised that during the class the teacher shows some examples that are slightly modified versions of the exercises in the book, so the children will gain some understanding of the subject matter and what is asked of them.
