What counts as success
Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How to proceed
- 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
One way to understand the rules
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. Read the matching step again.
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. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
