There are some (but not all) elegant model mates as well.
[Hat on]
You would think that a mate is a mate is a mate.
Not so in the world of chess problems: 'Mates are not created equal.'
* A mate involving all white officers (king excepted) is called an economical mate.
* A mate, where each square around the king is taken only in one way is called a pure mate.
Each such square is either controlled by one of the opponent's men or blocked by an own man.
If a blocking piece is pinned and without pin there is no mate, then the mate is still
considered pure and the pinning piece is involved in such mate.
* A mate that is pure and economical is known as a model mate.
* A model mate involving all men in the board (white and black) is called an ideal mate.
