Chess Tactics Puzzles: what to know before playing

Start Chess Tactics Puzzles by looking at the playing area and its controls. Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Use the example below to understand a decision. Read the objective before making your first input. 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.

Practice beyond the first move

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Keep the objective visible.

The challenge in front of you

Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

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.

How to interact with the game

Select pieces and targets; use Hint or New puzzle. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

An example to follow

A legal check is wrong when it permits escape from the required mate. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.

A mistake to avoid

The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
