The Chess Tactics Puzzles playbook

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. 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

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The goal to keep in mind

Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

The steps to play

  1. Read the mate objective.
  2. Choose a legal attacking move.
  3. The defender replies automatically where another move is required.
  4. Finish the forced mating line.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Select pieces and targets; use Hint or New puzzle. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

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. Read the matching step again.

An important reminder

The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
