Learn the rules of Chess Tactics Puzzles
Choose a round of Chess Tactics Puzzles and settle into its rules. Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Practise with 64 king-and-queen checkmate positions: 48 mate-in-one puzzles and 16 mate-in-two puzzles. This collection focuses on delivering checkmate.
Try a more deliberate round
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What counts as success
Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Follow these playing steps
- Read the mate objective.
- Choose a legal attacking move.
- The defender replies automatically where another move is required.
- Finish the forced mating line.
Using the playing area
Select pieces and targets; use Hint or New puzzle. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.
Work through an example
A legal check is wrong when it permits escape from the required mate. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A useful caution
The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. A different version of the game may use a different rule. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
