Learn your way around Chess Tactics Puzzles
Bring your attention to one round of Chess Tactics Puzzles. Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Use the example below to understand a decision.
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.
Practice beyond the first move
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round
Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
From the start of a round
- Read the mate objective.
- Choose a legal attacking move.
- The defender replies automatically where another move is required.
- Finish the forced mating line.
The controls to know
Select pieces and targets; use Hint or New puzzle. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
Put the rules into context
A legal check is wrong when it permits escape from the required mate. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.
A mistake to avoid
The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
