About
Every move tells a story.
CheckMate Chess is a calm, single-player puzzle game built from checkmates that really happened on the board. No talking, no clutter — just you, the position, and the moves that finish the game. And remember: every game here ends in mate.
The puzzles live in worlds; each world works one idea, and the difficulty climbs step by step. You feel yourself getting sharper.
WATCH, THEN DO
The legendary worlds open with "Watch, then do": first you watch the combination play out on the board, then it's your turn — you land the same blow and bring the king down yourself.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- Mate-in-1 and mate-in-2 worlds that build real pattern memory.
- Legendary mate worlds — Anastasia's, Boden's, Smothered, Arabian and the back-rank mate — taught move by move.
- Defend or Die: you're losing; first find the one saving move, then the mate.
- Boss Fight: a boss at the top of every world — and every level pushes you a little harder than the last.
- Daily Mate: a fresh puzzle every day, and a streak to keep alive.
- Survival: full board, three lives, a five-second clock, mate after mate.
- Pocket Mode: 250 few-piece quick mates for a fast session.
- A rating that grows with you, and a coach that reads your stats and tells you what to play next.
- Stats & Collection: total stars, streaks, badges, mates by piece.
- A clean board you play by tap or drag.
- Hint tokens for when you're stuck — your first solve of the day puts one back in your wallet.
- Clean, fast solves earn stars.
- Hearts that refill over time, and a vault that banks your spares.
- Plays in nine languages: English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Русский, Español, Português, Français, Polski, Italiano.

FAIR AND QUIET
Rewarded ads are entirely optional: only if you choose to watch one, it banks a hint token or refills your hearts. Nothing is pushed on you, nothing interrupts a puzzle. No in-app purchases.
