How Checkmate Lab works

01

Pick a unit

Each unit is one mate pattern or depth. Unit 1 is open to everyone. The rest unlock in order.

02

Solve ten positions

Every session pulls ten fresh positions for that pattern, in random order. No memorising.

03

Hit 70 percent

Solve seven of every ten unit positions overall and the next unit unlocks. Progress saves as you go.

04

Master the mates

By Unit 6 you are finding three-move forced mates against strong resistance. That is real attacking chess.
