Level 246★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles Level 246 sits about 82% through the game's 300-level run — late enough that the obvious patterns no longer work, early enough that the mechanics still favor lateral thinking.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 246:** Win the chess game in one move
## Answer
Look for a checkmate pattern — typically a queen or rook can deliver checkmate on the back rank.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
A chess position is shown where one move wins. Look for a checkmate: a queen or rook delivering check on the back rank with no escape for the king. Drag the winning piece to the checkmate square.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 246:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Find the piece that can deliver checkmate in one move — usually a back-rank mate with queen or rook.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Chess pattern recognition requires experience. If you don't play chess, you'll struggle to see the checkmate pattern. Brain Test occasionally uses domain-specific knowledge, and chess is a classic example. The puzzle rewards chess literacy specifically.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
Difficulty 4 puzzles in Brain Test often involve meta-awareness — the solution might require interacting with your phone's hardware (volume buttons, tilt sensor) or manipulating the game's UI elements. The puzzle boundary extends beyond the screen content to include the device itself. Late-game levels (151-300) frequently require device interaction — tilting your phone, using multiple fingers, shaking the device, or manipulating screen elements outside the puzzle area. Think beyond the touchscreen for these multi-step solutions.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 246:
- Applying real-world logic to a puzzle that rewards absurd lateral thinking.
- Overlooking small UI elements like the level counter, hint button, or settings icon, which sometimes play a role in the solution.
- Assuming the puzzle has only one interactive element when multiple objects might need to be combined.
Tips
- Brain Test treats the question text as an interactive game element, not just instructions.
- Homophones, synonyms, and literal meanings are all fair game in Brain Test puzzles.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 246 has a difficulty rating of 4/5 — it requires advanced lateral thinking.
