CheckMate Chess

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. PLAY ANYWHERE Fully offline — no account needed, your progress lives on your device. Or create a free account: your progress backs up to the cloud, and your new coach is waiting. 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CheckMate Chess at none against Backgammon Battle's 6. CheckMate Chess also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). Backgammon Battle's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
