Mini chess board
The game is played on a compact 4×4 board with a reduced set of pieces. Standard chess movement rules apply.
You play White
White moves first. Your goal is to deliver checkmate — put the Black king in check with no escape.
Watch the move counter
Each puzzle has a move limit. Checkmate must be delivered within the allowed number of moves or the puzzle is failed.
Think ahead
With fewer squares available, every move counts. Look for checks that cut off the king’s escape routes before closing in.
