Mindful Chess: Chess Puzzles

NEW: Live Match! Challenge a friend face-to-face on two devices — no internet needed. Pick a time control, offer draws, and rematch with colors swapped.

Mindful Chess is a comprehensive chess training platform designed to help you practice tactics, master your opening repertoire, and elevate your board vision. While solving puzzles quickly earns you bonus points, the game encourages you to calculate carefully before you move.

The core puzzle mechanic is simple: if you make a wrong move, you lose points from your potential score. This system trains you to find the right move instead of just guessing.
