Finish the job
This lesson uses chess positions. Until you have played a little, its board questions are worked examples to read. New to chess? Play your first moves (five minutes), then learn it from the beginning.
Chess punishes a careless finish at once, with stalemate or a lost pawn. Off the board, careful finishing becomes a habit only if you practise it there, as this week’s task asks.
