But I will link to the site you note because it is an excellent list of mates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkmate_patternTim Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896859340251238195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281107650758824190.post-60281681919221860172014-05-05T17:43:06.416-04:002014-05-05T17:43:06.416-04:00A.D.

Sawyer,<br />I thank you for the effort to write your article and I did enjoy the personal impact the game had for you.<br />I came across your article while searching for H-File Mates after seeing it mentioned in the Wikipedia article about checkmate patterns.<br />However, I was disappointed, since the checkmate pattern in your article is a classic Anastasia's Mate, not an H-File Mate at all. Do you still want to call it the Hastings H-File Mate?<br />Last, if you do know of any games that use the H-File Mate, please let me know.<br />All the best to you and yours,<br />A. D.
