Compare Checkmate! prices across trusted key stores and find the best deal. Developed by HandMade Games. Released on 9/7/2018. Available on PC. Genres: Casual, Indie, Strategy, Puzzle.

A no-frills chess puzzle game that trades flashy presentation for pure tactical problem-solving.

Checkmate! is exactly what it promises: a straightforward chess puzzle collection where you're given a board state and tasked with finding the winning move or sequence. No story, no AI opponent grinding, no timer pressure. Just you, the pieces, and the problem. It's the kind of game that appeals to people who enjoy chess tactics books but prefer clicking through scenarios on a screen. The trade-off is obvious. There's no progression system, no difficulty curve you can measure, and minimal UI polish. If you need coaching or hints, you're on your own. But if you already play chess and want a low-stakes way to sharpen your tactical eye without the stress of live games, this does the job. It's lean, it's honest, and it respects your time.
