How it works

  1. Make a move on the board: click a piece and then a square, or drag it.
  2. A correct move makes the opponent reply automatically. A wrong move bounces back so you can try again.
  3. Stuck? The hint button first shows which piece to move, then where it goes.
  4. A new set of three puzzles appears every day at 00:00 UTC.

Questions

Where do the puzzles come from?

From the Lichess puzzle database, which is released under the CC0 license. Every puzzle is a position from a real game, checked by a chess engine.

When is a new puzzle released?

Every day at 00:00 UTC. Everyone gets the same three puzzles on the same day, so you can compare results with friends.

How is my puzzle rating calculated?

You start at 1200. Solving a puzzle without mistakes or hints counts as a win against the puzzle rating; otherwise it counts as a loss. Your rating and streak are saved in this browser only.

Is it free?

Yes. No account, no sign-up.
