About Chess Puzzle
Every chess player knows the satisfaction of spotting checkmate in a single move. Chess Puzzle is built entirely around that moment, presenting positions where you must find the one move that ends the game.
It is described as an extra-credit game for players trying to improve, and it works as short training: each puzzle is a fresh position to read, with the pieces telling you where the king is weak. You can study the board at your own pace and work out the answer before you act. It loads in your browser, with no installation, on a computer or phone.
