In every exercise you will have to find a best continuation for an attack against the king. All the exercises are taken from practical games and arranged according to the names of pieces and difficulty levels.

Comments on Mate in 2 (Chess Puzzles) for Android

★★★★★ HIDEO MIT UNS · Aug 31, 2022
Training tactical motifs allows me to recognize the patterns to spot and work with possible tactics (like an alarm bell, noticing undefended pieces exposed king, overloaded and pinned pieces etc. etc.) in my games. BUT doing mate in x puzzles improves my analysis accuracy, analysis tree organization and efficiency. This is because we know the aim and can thus isolate the analysis of variations. With tactical motifs, half of our energy is devoted to recognizing the conditions for said tactic.
★★★★★ shalini tanwar · Jul 23, 2023
This app is very useful to chess players and the beginning means the beginner players who are interested in solving chess ♟️♟️ puzzles.
★★★★★ Ray Aventador · May 26, 2021
If you are an aspiring chess tournament player, Gillam's simple checkmate is a MUST. Doing Gillam ideally 3 times aiming for faster solving each time will really seal the basics. Mate in 2 is VERY important. It separates the chess casuals from chess aficionados. Therefore, the question isn't should we practice mate in 2 but should we choose this app over Gillam's simple Checkmates which covers the most important mates in one and mates in two in organized gradation. Yes if time permits.
★☆☆☆☆ Spase Geek · May 9, 2024
Lol. A checkmate puzzle should not have you guessing which end of the chess board you are at. It 100% changes pawn endgames. That's the most basic endgame. It fails at the most basic.
★☆☆☆☆ Joey Benoit · Oct 9, 2023
Repeats the same simple king queen mate over and over and over.
