Daily Chess Puzzle — Solve One a Day, Build Your Streak

A new tactic every day. Same puzzle for every player.

One chess puzzle a day, same for every player worldwide. Solve it to extend your streak. The puzzle resets at midnight UTC. Puzzles are drawn from a curated set of validated positions — mates in one, tactical motifs (forks, pins, skewers), and simple endgame techniques.

How it works

Click a piece to see its legal moves, then click a destination to make the move. If your move matches the puzzle's solution, you solve it and your streak advances. If it's wrong, try again. Anonymous users can solve but don't track streaks; sign in to build a daily habit.

Why daily puzzles matter

Chess improvement is 90% pattern recognition. Solving one puzzle a day, every day, builds the visual library that separates beginners from strong club players. Twelve months of daily puzzles is a bigger rating boost than any amount of book study.
