How to play Chess Puzzles
- The other side has just moved. It is your turn: find the strongest move.
- Tap a piece to see where it can go, then tap the square. You can also drag it.
- If your move is right, the other side answers and you play the next move. Some puzzles are one move, some are several.
- Not quite? Take your time and try another move. Hint shows which piece to move.
- Your side is always at the bottom of the board.
Good to know
- Look at every check and every capture first.
- Easy puzzles are often a checkmate in one or two moves.
- No sign-up. Your progress and streaks stay on this device.
