|An archetypal Anastasia's mate}}
In ''Anastasia's mate'', a [[knight (chess)|knight]] and [[rook (chess)|rook]] team up to trap the opposing king between the side of the board on one side and a friendly piece on the other. Often, the queen is first sacrificed along the a-{{chessgloss|file}} or h-file to achieve the position. A [[Bishop (chess)|bishop]] can be used instead of a knight to the same effect (see [[#Greco's mate|Greco's mate]]). This checkmate gets its name from the novel ''Anastasia und das Schachspiel'' by [[Johann Jakob Wilhelm Heinse]],<ref>The original "Anastasia's mate" appeared in: Wilhelm Heinse, ''Anastasia und das Schachspiel: Briefe aus Italien vom Verfasser des Ardinghello'' [Anastasia and Chess: Letters from Italy by the author of ''Ardinghello''] (Frankfurt am Main, (Germany): Tarrentrapp und Wenner, 1803), [https://books.google.com/books?id=LrBAAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA211 volume 2, pages 211–213.]<br>
The original "Anastasia's mate" is reproduced in modern notion with illustrations, in: Wilhelm Heinse, ''Anastasia und das Schachspiel … '' (Hamburg, Germany: Jens-Erik Rudolph Verlag, 2010), [https://books.google.com/books?id=3tvTGSgcjmkC&pg=PA162 page 162, example 2.]<br>
Note: Nowadays, "Anastasia's mate" refers to a mate in which the checkmated king is on an edge of the board or in a corner of the board, whereas in the original mate, the king was near the center of the board.</ref>{{sfn|Renaud|Kahn|p=83}} but the novelist took the chess position from an essay by [[Giambattista Lolli]].

|An archetypal Anderssen's mate}}
In ''Anderssen's mate'' (named for [[Adolf Anderssen]]), the rook or [[queen (chess)|queen]] is supported by a diagonally attacking piece such as a [[pawn (chess)|pawn]] or [[bishop (chess)|bishop]] as it checkmates the opposing king along the eighth {{chessgloss|rank}}.
Sometimes a distinction is drawn between Anderssen's mate, where the rook is supported by a pawn (which itself is supported by another piece, as in the diagram), and ''Mayet's mate'', where the rook is supported by a distant bishop.<ref>{{cite web|title=Famous Checkmates|url=http://chesslessons4beginners.com/lesson_8_famous_checkmates_4.htm|work=Chess Lessons For Beginners|publisher=chesslessons4beginners.com|access-date=29 December 2013|archive-date=30 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131230233321/http://chesslessons4beginners.com/lesson_8_famous_checkmates_4.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
