Your goal
Force checkmate in the stated number of moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.

A useful example
A legal check is wrong when it permits escape from the required mate. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
