1. Checkmate Move by White: Rxf6+#
In this chess game, the White is in the winning position. However, Black could have extended the game by a few moves by making a Re7 move.















2. Checkmate Move by White: Rxf8+#
Here the last move by Black is a complete blunder. This was the game in which Black was in the winning position having an edge over the Queen. However, this blunder caused Black to lose the game immediately. In fact, in this game, Black could threaten to checkmate White with Rxf1.















3. Checkmate Move by White: Qh8+#
Checkmate could have been avoided here by making the space for moving the Black King to f7 in case of check by White.















4. Checkmate Move by White: Nfg6+#
Here in this game, the Black's position is weak but the Black could have avoided immediate checkmate by moving the g7 pawn. This will make the space for King to move in case of a check by the Knight.















5. Checkmate Move by White: Bf7+#
This was the make which just started and both are at equal position. This checkmate could have been avoided by blocking Bishop with a d5 move.
