The ''swallow's tail mate'', also known as the ''guéridon mate'', is a common method of checkmating. It works by attacking the enemy king with a queen that is protected by a rook or other piece. The enemy king's own pieces (in this example, rooks) block its means of escape.{{sfn|Renaud|Kahn|p=44}} It resembles the [[#Epaulette mate|epaulette mate]].
