About Chess Puzzles
Chess Puzzles is a free chess training game you play in your browser on phone or desktop, with no download. Every day brings one daily puzzle, the same for everyone, so you can keep a streak going. Puzzle climb starts easy and gets harder with each solve, and every miss costs one of three lives. The positions come from the Lichess public-domain puzzle database. Made for Arena13.

Tips
- Look at every check, capture and threat first. Most puzzles start with a forcing move.
