How to Play
Chess Tactics presents a position where one side has a forced win, usually a checkmate in one or two moves. Study the board, then tap the piece you want to move and tap its destination square. A correct solution ends the puzzle with the expected result, and an incorrect move resets the position so you can try again. Look for checks that the opponent cannot escape, because the fastest forcing line is almost always the answer.
Controls
- Tap a piece to select it
- Tap a square to move it
Tips & Tricks
- 1Look for forced checks first
- 2A mate in two starts with a threatening move
- 3Wrong moves reset the puzzle
- 4Scan every check first — if the king has no escape square, the mate is already on the board
- 5A forcing move that leaves the opponent only one reply is safer than a quiet threat, because the line finishes in two moves
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I solve a puzzle?
Select a piece and move it to the square that delivers the forced checkmate or wins material.
What is the goal of a puzzle?
Find the forced win, usually a checkmate in one or two moves, then tap the piece followed by its destination square.
What happens if I play the wrong move?
The position resets so you can try again, so experiment freely with the forcing lines.
Is there a timer or a rating?
No rating to protect. Puzzles are about reading the position, so take the time to check every escape square.
Where do the positions come from?
Each position is set up so one side has a forced win, which means the answer is a concrete sequence rather than a general plan.
