Mat de Balestra – Leçons vidéos et Cours d'échecs

Je n’ai pas eu beaucoup de temps pour trouver la source du nom de ce mat, certainement Monsieur Balestra !

Le mat de la Balestra est semblable au mat de Boden, mais se donne avec la Dame et un Fou (au lieu des deux Fous). Comme dans le mat de Boden, la Dame et le Fou donnent le mat sur deux diagonales croisées. Dans le mat de la Balestra, le Fou donne le mat tandis que la Dame est à un case dans chaque direction du Roi, bloquant les issues. Dans ce mat, la Dame est capable de bloquer toutes les issues sans l’aide des pièces de l’adversaire.
