A small practice goal
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
Your objective
Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Making your moves
- 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
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. Notice the change in the playing area.
A mistake to avoid
The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
