What this tactic means

Mate in three or more requires a fully forced sequence in which every defense still reaches checkmate.

Recognize

Visual cues to check

  • Checks that steadily reduce legal replies
  • A preparatory move that builds the mating net
  • Defenders that can interpose, capture, or create flight
Avoid

Common solving mistake

Stopping after the first attractive line instead of proving the mate against every defensive branch.
