@bobdaniel09 saidAll I can suggest is to get familiar with the basic mates using King & Queen vs King, King & Rook vs King, King & 2 minor pieces vs King and the King vs pawn situations that BigDogg posted. Once done, you can then seek to trade down into these positions in your games and use your acquired theory to win.
