What is mate in 'N'?
The board will be loaded with chess pieces arranged in such a way that the player can forcefully checkmate the CPU in N moves. The player always moves first. This is referred to as "mate in N" puzzle.
For example, "mate in 2" goes like,
1. You make a move so that the CPU has limited options to play.
2. CPU plays the best move possible to escape from Checkmate.
3. In your second turn, deliver checkmate to complete the puzzle.
Checkmate is a condition where a king is in check(threatened with capture) and there is no way to remove the threat.
If a player is not in check but has no legal move, then it is Stalemate, and the game immediately ends in a draw.
