What is a puzzle?

It is a challenge to find the next best move(s) in a given chess position. Typically, it involves a situation where a player needs to find a single move or combination of moves to achieve a specific objective, such as checkmating the opponent's king, winning a piece, giving you a significant advantage.

When you solve a puzzle or make an incorrect move, the puzzle completion screen appears. Please note that:

  • You earn points that are added to your Puzzle score if you solve the puzzle.
  • You lose points that are subtracted from your Puzzle score if you fail to solve the puzzle or use at least one hint.
