Your goal
Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step

- The defender replies automatically where another move is required.
- Finish the forced mating line.
Controls

A useful example
A legal check is wrong when it permits escape from the required mate. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
