Free chess puzzles
Choose mate in one, mate in two, knight forks or hanging pieces. Every puzzle tells you whether you play White or Black. Select your piece and then its destination square.
Build a useful habit
Explain the idea behind a move before you request the next puzzle. Your first thinking hint per move is free; extra guidance may use hint credits. You can keep playing without waiting or buying lives.
Review your mistakes
Missed puzzles can be practised again. Read the explanation and check what the opponent could do. JavaScript is required to play the board.
Give every solution a reason
For a checkmate, account for the king’s escape squares. For a capture, check whether your piece can be taken back. Review a missed puzzle when you can explain the idea more clearly.
The first thinking hint for each move is free. Extra guidance can use hint credits, which the controls explain before you choose. Every puzzle labels the side you play.
