Find your footing in Chess Tactics Puzzles

Take a moment with Chess Tactics Puzzles before moving to another game. Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Use the example below to understand a decision.

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.

Build familiarity through play

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.

The purpose of your moves

Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.

How a round unfolds

  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.

Your inputs

Select pieces and targets; use Hint or New puzzle. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.

See the idea in action

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. Consider the next action carefully.

Avoid this misunderstanding

The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
