Our guidance
How can I unlock more challenging computer opponents in CheckMat?
To face tougher AI opponents, you must win games against the current bots. As you secure victories, the game unlocks advanced AI levels, allowing you to progress from beginner settings to more difficult challenges as your skills improve.
Golden Pawns serve as a currency earned through regular gameplay. You can spend these accumulated rewards to purchase helpful hints, new visual skins, or different board designs, allowing you to customize your personal chess space while playing.
Beginners should utilize the step-by-step guide provided in the app. This feature helps you learn the fundamental rules of chess, after which you can practice your skills with the friendly chess trainer to build a solid foundation.
