Chess Guess

About this game

A daily chess tactics puzzle for players who want to sharpen their game one move at a time. Each day brings a different challenge, five attempts to solve it, and color-coded feedback after every guess.

HOW IT WORKS

Every day you get one puzzle — a real position from a real game, with a winning sequence to find. You have five tries. After each guess, every move in your answer lights up:

🟩 Green — right piece, right square
🟨 Yellow — right piece, wrong square
🟥 Red — wrong piece entirely

Use the clues to zero in on the winning line before your five tries run out.

THE WEEKLY CURVE

Chess Guess uses a crossword-style difficulty curve. Monday is the most approachable puzzle of the week; difficulty climbs Tuesday through Saturday; and Sunday is the big one. By the weekend you're solving 2700+ rated positions — the kind that stumps most club players.

Beginners have a reason to come back every day (Mondays are for you). Stronger players have something to look forward to all week (Sunday is going to test you).

PRACTICE MODE

Want more than one puzzle a day? Practice mode gives you unlimited puzzles at four difficulty settings:

• Easy (1200–1800 rating) — clean tactical motifs
• Medium (1800–2400) — club-level problems
• Hard (2400–3000) — master-level tactics
• Random — a mix of all three

FEATURES

• One daily puzzle with escalating weekly difficulty (Monday through Sunday)
• Unlimited practice mode across four difficulty tiers
• Streak tracking — build a daily chess habit
• Stats dashboard with win rate and guess distribution
• Daily reminder notification so you never miss a puzzle
• No internet required

BUILT ON REAL CHESS

Every position in Chess Guess comes from a real game played on Lichess. These are real tactical moments that actually happened across millions of human games.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Chess players who want to improve their tactical vision
• Puzzle game fans looking for a low-commitment daily habit
• Anyone who loves daily puzzle rituals — crossword, sudoku, mini-games
• Players returning to chess after a break

ONE PUZZLE A DAY

Five tries. Three colors. A daily chess position waiting every morning. How long can you keep the streak alive?

What’s new

Fixed a bug where a move could show as yellow when it should be green — moving the correct piece to the correct square now always scores green, even when the board position diverged from the solution.
