[Section 2: Chess Puzzles]

Have a go at our collection of Checkmate Puzzles. With each of these Puzzles you need to give the move that results in Checkmate.

For added difficulty, we're not telling you which side has the move. This will train your chess-brain to study both sides of the board, as you'd have to in your proper games of Chess.

Includes 20x Mate-in-one and 20x Mate-in-two move puzzles.

This little gem of a website has over 90 different Mate In One Puzzles.

What's great about these puzzles is there's an interactive chessboard, which allows you to click and drag the pawns and pieces to the position you deem to be the "solution".

Here's another serving of Chess Puzzles from the guys down the digital-road at MateInOne.com ...

This time, you need to come up with the TWO moves that result in Checkmate.

At the last count, they'd added over 240 different Mate In Two puzzles.

From the above link, you can get stuck straight into the interactive Tactics Puzzles. Click and drag the Pawn(s) and Piece(s) to the position(s) you believe to be the solution(s).
