Think chess takes too long? Skip the openings and the long endgames. Mini Chess drops you straight into the most exciting part of the game: the checkmate.

HOW IT WORKS

Each level gives you a small board with a few pieces. Find the move that forces checkmate in the number of moves shown. Every square matters, every piece counts, and one wrong move lets the king escape. Think it through, then tap.

30 HANDCRAFTED CHECKMATE PUZZLES

Every chess puzzle is designed and tested by hand around a clear tactical idea.

• Levels 1–15: Mate in 1. Learn piece coordination, king confinement and back-rank mates.

• Levels 16–21: Mate in 2. Find quiet preparatory moves and corner the king.
