How to play Chess Tactics Puzzles
Choose a round of Chess Tactics Puzzles and settle into its rules. Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Look at what changes after your first action. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
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.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
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.
Step by step
- Read the mate objective.
- Choose a legal attacking move.
- The defender replies automatically where another move is required.
- Finish the forced mating line.
Controls
Select pieces and targets; use Hint or New puzzle. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful 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. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
