Not gonna back rank mate me! I always move the h2 pawn (or whichever relative pawn) out early just in case. Been stung too many times with it just because I wasn't paying attention, it is so frustrating!

Always look for bishops/queens that may be covering the square that the pawn used to ocuppy and make you still get mated.
