Chess Tactics Puzzles: a guide for your next round
Choose a round of Chess Tactics Puzzles and settle into its rules. Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. 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.
Something to practise
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 purpose of your moves
Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The playing sequence
- Read the mate objective.
- Choose a legal attacking move.
- The defender replies automatically where another move is required.
- Finish the forced mating line.
How to interact with the game
Select pieces and targets; use Hint or New puzzle. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Follow the 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. Choose a deliberate next step.
One detail worth checking
The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
