About game
“Two Moves” is a chess puzzle game for players who enjoy precise calculation. In every position, White moves first and must force checkmate in two moves. The first move is a unique quiet key: it neither gives check nor captures a piece. Once you find it, the game presents Black’s defenses one by one. Your task is to find a mating reply to each defense.
The game includes 3,000 rated mate-in-two puzzles from the official Lichess Puzzle Database. Before a position appears, an in-browser solver checks every legal defense, confirms there is no mate in one, and rules out alternative first moves. Difficulty is based on the source rating, the number of defenses, and the number of distinct mating ideas.
The three-step hint system reveals the answer gradually: first the piece, then its starting square, then its destination square. You can reveal the full solution, review every variation, restart the current position, or move on to another puzzle. No registration is required.
How to play
1. White moves first. Click a white piece and then its destination square, or drag the piece to make a move. 2. Find the unique key move. The correct first move neither gives check nor captures a piece. 3. After the correct key, Black automatically plays one of its defenses. Deliver checkmate with your next move. 4. Select “Next Defense” and find the mating move against every remaining defense. The puzzle is complete once all defenses have been solved. 5. After an incorrect move, a red arrow shows your move and a gold arrow shows Black’s reply. “Hint” reveals the answer gradually, “Show Solution” opens the complete analysis, “Restart” returns to the initial position, and “New Puzzle” loads another puzzle.Game info
