Play Chess Puzzles

About

Chess Puzzles is a strategy game where you find the best move in real chess positions. Make the right move, then respond to each new position to practice and improve your chess tactics.

How to play

• Look at the current position and find the best move for your side.
• Tap one of your pieces to see valid moves. Tap an option to move there.
• If you play an optimal move, the opponent plays its next move. If not, you will lose a life.
• Keep finding the next best move until the puzzle is complete.

Tips

• Easier puzzles often start with forcing moves like checks, captures, and direct threats.
• Harder puzzles may require a longer plan. Think about a way to create threats. If the "obvious" move fails, look for quieter moves that set up a stronger threat or defend against an incoming attack.
