How to play Chess

Goal

Start from a position already in play and find the winning line to solve the puzzle.

Starting position

Each puzzle begins at a selected moment in a game, with earlier moves already played. Pieces may already have moved or been captured.

Rules

Play the side named above the board: White to move or Black to move. After each correct move, the board plays the opponent's reply automatically. Continue until the winning line is complete.

Move feedback

A legal chess move can still miss the puzzle solution. That move returns to its starting square. Relaxed mode lets you try again; Strict Rush ends the puzzle after a wrong move.

Controls

Tap a piece, then tap its destination square to play your move.
