What's inside
Vol 2 of Mate in 1 at the beginners level. 100 puzzles hand-picked from the Lichess open puzzle database, filtered to the 400–800 ELO band. Find the single move that delivers checkmate. No calculation, just pattern recognition. The cleanest way to train your eye.
Every puzzle lives on its own page. The next page shows the solution in algebraic notation, with a compact scoresheet-style grid you can use for working through the line by hand. The board itself is pure black and white — no gradients, no color highlights — because that's what reads cleanest on e-ink. Pieces come from Colin M.L. Burnett's open-source chess font.
Designed for the reMarkable Paper Pro
The page size is 210×280 mm — a 3:4 aspect ratio that matches the Paper Pro's 11.8″ 1620×2160 display edge to edge. It also renders cleanly on the Paper Pure, reMarkable 2, reMarkable 1 (same viewer, same screen shape), and on any e-ink tablet or PDF reader that handles standard PDFs. Printing on A4 works too — the margins are generous enough that nothing gets clipped.
