|An archetypal Vuković's mate}}
''Vuković’s mate'' is a mate involving a protected rook which delivers checkmate to the king at the edge of the board, while a knight covers the remaining escape squares of the king. The rook is usually protected with either the king or a pawn.<ref name="Vuković">[https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chesscollection?cid=1030348] Chess Games, Vuković Mate Examples</ref>
This pattern was famously used by a 13-year-old [[Bobby Fischer]] in 1956 to checkmate [[Donald Byrne]] in what is now commonly known as the [[Game of the Century (chess)|Game of the Century]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1008361 |title=Donald Byrne vs Robert James Fischer |website=[[ChessGames.com]] }} </ref>
