Chess Bop: Chess Puzzles

About this game

Chess Bop is bite-size chess puzzles for every day. A couple of minutes — and you play better.

Nearly 100,000 checked puzzles: mate in one and two, forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks, sacrifices, defence and pawn races. The feed adapts to you: start easy, then grow at your own pace. Want to relax? Pick the calm mode. Want a challenge? Go a bit harder.

Couldn't find the answer? No problem. Every solution can be replayed move by move, with a note under each move: what it does and why it beats the alternatives. When a puzzle has a sacrifice, Chess Bop shows what you give up and what you get back.

Some puzzles come from Chess960 games — chess with a shuffled starting position. Same rules, fresh eyes on the board.

Every day there is a small goal of three puzzles. Build a day streak and protect it with freezes. Open chests, build your avatar and a collection of boards, pieces, sounds and calm music — including classics by Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi and more.

Meet Bop, a cheerful chess knight: he cheers your good moves, goes "oops" on mistakes and thinks along with you.

• No ads, no purchases — everything is free.
• Works offline.
• One gentle daily reminder at the time you choose — only if you turn it on.
• Three-step hints: idea, piece, direction.
• Light and night themes, reduced-motion mode.

Chess Bop is part of the CH960 project (ch960.com): play Chess960 with people and learn it from scratch.
