Build familiarity through play
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.
From the start of a round
- Read the mate objective.
- Choose a legal attacking move.
- The defender replies automatically where another move is required.
- Finish the forced mating line.
Choosing and moving on screen
Select pieces and targets; use Hint or New puzzle. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.
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. Notice the change in the playing area.
A common point of confusion
The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
