Checkmates - Basic endgame technique

If you think you know all the basic checkmates (with 2 rooks, with a queen, with a single rook, with two bishops, simple pawn endings) then set up the six positions shown in on a board and try to get checkmate from these starting positions. Try these on the computer and then against your friends for practice.
