What your child learns

  • Checkmate patterns, starting with mate in one
  • How a king and queen drive the enemy king to the edge
  • The harder king and rook mate, and how to avoid stalemate

How to play

Tap a piece to see its squares, tap one to move. Owlie answers. A hint shows the fastest mate, and you can take a move back. Stalemate, a lost piece or fifty moves start the puzzle again.

Levels

  1. Level 1Three mates in one.
  2. Level 2King and queen against a king.
  3. Level 3King and rook against a king.

A tip for parents

If your child plays chess with you, these mates are the ones every player needs. Watch out for stalemate together.
