An example to follow
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. Keep the controls nearby.
Avoid this misunderstanding
The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
