About One Move
One-move puzzles focus on finding the best move in a position. Unlike mate-in-one puzzles, the best move might not deliver checkmate but instead wins material, avoids a trap, or secures a decisive advantage. These puzzles are excellent for warming up your tactical vision and training the habit of looking for the best move in every position.
How to use these puzzles
Study the position carefully before moving any pieces. Try to find the best move on your own, then click on the piece you want to move and select the target square. Use the Hint button if you get stuck. After solving the puzzle, use the Next Puzzlebutton in the Current Turn card to practice another position from this theme.
