Review a difficult moment
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. 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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
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.
