Chess Mate in 3: 3D Puzzles

Chess Mate in 3: train your tactics with 4,500 checkmate puzzles on a 3D chess board you can rotate. Find mate in 1, 2, or 3 moves, from warm-up puzzles to positions that make strong players think hard.

MATE IN 1, 2 AND 3
Three levels with 1,500 puzzles each, sorted from easy to hard (ratings 400 to 2,500). Every puzzle comes from a real game and has been checked again: legal moves, ends in checkmate, and no faster mate.

THE OPPONENT FIGHTS BACK
Wrong moves are not rejected right away. The opponent answers with its best defence, so you are free to try your own line, and a checkmate by another line counts too. Out of moves? Try again until you find it.

A 3D BOARD YOU CAN ROTATE
Staunton pieces on a wooden board. Drag to rotate, pinch to zoom, and the board turns to face your colour.

STARS, SCORE AND RECORDS
Solve without mistakes or help for three stars. Build your score, chase your best perfect streak, and share your record card with friends.

DAILY CHALLENGE
A new puzzle every day, the same for everyone. Keep your streak alive!

HELP WHEN YOU ARE STUCK
Hints show which piece to move. In Mate in 3, the first move can be revealed. After a failed try, the solution can be played move by move.

30 CHAPTERS PER LEVEL
The next chapter unlocks after you solve 30 puzzles in the previous one.
