One way to understand the rules
A legal check is wrong when it permits escape from the required mate. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
One detail worth checking
The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
