Does anybody has a more exhaustive source of checkmate patterns than Wikipedia?

Could you kindly provide me a link if you know something about?

Thanks in Advance

Exhaustive?  There are hundreds... pick up a copy of any "White to move and mate in X" type of book and you'll likely see most of them in one form or another.

@artfizz:

, pattern #9, mate with bishop, rook, and pawn.  I don't see how the  Black King is in mate at c7 in that pattern.

Pattern #9 from which referrence?


#9 in the 2nd reference (http://www.usefulchess.com/tactics/checkmate.htm); the c7 square looks like an escape to me too.

I'm sorry guys.  When I posted, the http://www.usefulchess.com/tactics/checkmate.htm URL showed in my original post; yet, it doesn't show now.  It is position #9 at that site; supposedly showing a mate with rook, knight, and pawn.   Dee
