Something to practise
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim
Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Making your moves
- Read the mate objective.
- Choose a legal attacking move.
- The defender replies automatically where another move is required.
- Finish the forced mating line.
Keyboard and screen 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.
Try this example
A legal check is wrong when it permits escape from the required mate. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
A common point of confusion
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.
