Today's Daily Checkmate Puzzle
One shared position, one forced mate, and three tries to find it.
One shared position, one forced mate, and three tries to find it.
Today's Mate is the main daily challenge at Mated. Every player receives the same real-game position and the same mate distance. The goal is to find a forced checkmate while accounting for every legal defensive reply.
A fresh puzzle arrives at midnight Eastern time. The position is free to play, and you can start immediately as a guest.
Chess positions can have more than one correct continuation. Mated verifies the full forced-mate tree, so any move sequence that preserves the required checkmate is accepted rather than only one authored line.
Solve on consecutive days to grow your Daily streak. Every seven-day crossing earns a personal day, and spoiler-free sharing lets you compare results without revealing the solution.
