What "mating net" means in chess

A mating net is a tactic where a player creates a web of threats and positions their pieces in a way that traps the opponent's king, leading to a checkmate. It involves strategic positioning of pieces, forcing the opponent's king into a vulnerable position and leaving them with no viable moves to avoid being checkmated. The ultimate goal of a mating net is to checkmate the opponent's king, winning the game.
