10 Arabian mates rated between 2200 and 3500, averaging 2306. Each position below is from a real game, with the solution given underneath — so you can check yourself immediately rather than guessing whether you were right.
The Arabian mate is a rook and knight cooperating in the corner: the knight covers the escape squares while the rook delivers mate. It is one of the oldest recorded patterns in chess.
These are pitched at 2200+-rated players. Puzzle ratings work like player ratings: a puzzle rated 2200+ is one that players around 2200+ solve about half the time, so if you are getting most of these you should move up a band.
Solving from a page is good for pattern recognition but not for tracking progress. The rated puzzle trainer serves puzzles matched to your own rating and adjusts as you solve, and the Mistake Trainer builds puzzles from positions you actually got wrong in your own games.
