A useful example
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. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
The objective is forced mate, not merely checking the king. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
