What is a mate in 1?

One move ends the game. The challenge is pure board vision: seeing the single square where check meets no escape.

How to spot it

Scan every check systematically — queen first, then rooks, bishops, knights, pawns. One of them covers every flight square.

What this set trains

Speed and accuracy drills for beginners, warm-ups for everyone else. The foundation of all mating vision.
