Mate in One

Mate in One shows eight chess positions, one at a time, with a mate-in-one hiding in each. Tap a piece and a destination to play. Back-rank mates, queen kisses, smothered mates and discovered checks ramp up in difficulty. Wrong moves cost a strike, and each solve ends with a one-line explanation.

How to play

1. Tap a piece to see its legal moves.
2. Tap the square that gives checkmate.
3. Solve all 8 positions before 3 strikes; use a hint if stuck.

Tips

• Check every check before settling.
• Look for the king's escape squares first.
• Use hints on the late, harder boards.
