Mate in 3 Moves: Chess Puzzles

Mate in 3 is a chess puzzle game on tiny boards. White to move: find the checkmate in the given number of moves. TINY BOARDS, BIG IDEAS Every puzzle sits on a mini board: 3×3 squares, crosses, L-shapes and other unusual layouts. Fewer squares, but every piece matters — rooks cut off the king, knights jump over defenders, bishops strike along a long diagonal, pawns promote to deliver mate. 10,000 LEVELS FOR YOUR LEVEL Pick your chess level at the first launch and change it any time in Settings: • Beginner — short puzzles, mostly mate in 1 to 3. • Intermediate — mate in 2 to 5 with real defenders. • Expert — up to mate in 7, plus a long mate in 8 from time to time. Each level has its own puzzles, and they get harder as you go. Black always defends with the best reply. LEARN AS YOU PLAY • Two tutorial levels show how to move and checkmate. • A wrong move? The game shows Black's defence with an arrow and explains why there is no mate in time. • Stuck? A hint in two steps: first the piece to move, then an arrow with the move. • Undo a move or restart the puzzle at any time.
