Keep the aim in sight
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
A legal check is wrong when it permits escape from the required mate. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
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.
