If you are a beginner, you should practice much to mate in one move. This course provides excellent material for this training. The big number of exercises (2500) covers different methods of mating. Many of them is an excellent tool for speed training even for stronger players. This is a rare course that is intended even for players with USCF rating of 600. Even if you only study and solve 10% of the exercises, you will learn a huge number of mating patterns and probably never miss a mate in one again!

Comments on Mate in 1 (Chess Puzzles) for Android

★★★★★ Padraig Crowe · Jul 18, 2024

★★★★★ Mayur Vispute · Dec 29, 2023
Awesome app... Very helpful to learn easy to difficult mating pattern with themes... Easy to use and very helpful for students coaches both
★★★★★ Basko Arostegui · Mar 12, 2025
Best chess puzzles app I have ever found. Excellent and logical presentation with a bit of history on the answers, that keeps one motivated!
★★★★★ Siddamma Dudekula · Jan 11, 2026
Super extraordinary teaching to mate in few moves
★★☆☆☆ David Hite · Jun 18, 2021
Enjoyed at first, but upon reaching section 4.2 it began giving me no points for getting the solution correct saying that the exercise is lower than my rating and taking away 15 points for making a mistake. Why is it presenting me with puzzles it says are below my rating in the first place? The puzzles are just as difficult as ones that I was awarded points for solving and taking away 15 points for a mistake is brutal. Makes the game a chore rather than an enjoyment.
