The essentials of playing Chess Tactics Puzzles

Give this approach a try
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.

A closer look at one example
A legal check is wrong when it permits escape from the required mate. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
One detail worth checking
