Velmate

Velmate is an elegant chess puzzle game built around one pure idea: the checkmate. Every position is a trap you must spring — find the one move (or the forced two- or three-move line) that ends the game. No clocks, no opponents to outlast, just you, the board, and the perfect finishing blow rendered in marble and antique gold.

Work your way through 60 puzzles across four chapters of rising difficulty, from clean mate-in-one strikes to elegant three-move combinations where every enemy defence must be answered. Each puzzle is verified to have a forced solution, so there is always a way through. Earn up to three stars per puzzle by solving cleanly — no hints, no missteps — and chase a perfect run across the whole collection. A fresh Daily Mate gives you a new challenge every day.

Highlights:
• 60 forced-checkmate puzzles in four themed chapters (mate in 1, 2 and 3)
• Three-star scoring that rewards clean, hint-free solutions
• Built-in hint, undo and reset for when a line eludes you
• A new Daily Mate puzzle every day
• Ten awards to unlock and a full statistics page to track your mastery
• Four board styles and four ambient themes to make the game your own
• Fully offline single-player — no account, no network required

Important: Velmate is a single-player puzzle game intended purely for entertainment and mental exercise. It contains no gambling, no real-money play and no wagering of any kind — just the timeless craft of the checkmate.
