Press Start for the first position.
Every position has a mate in one. Find as many as you can in two minutes.
Mate Dash
Mate Dash is two minutes of mate in one. Every position has a move that gives checkmate at once: find it and play it on the board. Any mating move counts. A wrong move is a miss and the next position comes straight away. The positions start easy and get harder with each one.
How to play
- Press Start. The clock begins when the first position is on the board.
- Play the move that gives checkmate, by dragging the piece or by clicking it and then its square.
- After two minutes you see how many mates you found. Your best is kept on this device.
Questions
- Where do the positions come from?
- From the Lichess puzzle database, which is in the public domain. Each one arose in a real game and was checked by an engine.
- What if there are two ways to mate?
- Either is right. Any move that gives checkmate at once is accepted.
- How is this different from Puzzle Sprint?
- Puzzle Sprint mixes every kind of tactic and ends at the third miss. Mate Dash is only mate in one, and the clock alone ends it.
