What's inside
Vol 1 of Mate in 2 at the advanced level. 100 puzzles hand-picked from the Lichess open puzzle database, filtered to the 1600–2000 ELO band. Find the two-move sequence that ends in checkmate. You have to anticipate the defender's reply, so calculation matters more than pattern recognition alone. A natural step up from Mate in 1.
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.
