Chess Daily

Five fresh puzzles every morning, getting harder as you go, plus a Daily Hard Challenge for the brave. Build your streak and watch your rating climb.

Five chess puzzles a day. That's it. Quick enough for your morning coffee, tricky enough to keep you coming back.

Every day brings five new puzzles that start easy and get harder, so you warm up before the tough ones. Finish all five and you can take on the Daily Hard Challenge, a properly difficult bonus puzzle for when you're feeling sharp.

A RATING THAT GROWS WITH YOU Every puzzle moves your rating up or down, so you can see yourself improving week by week. Solving a puzzle never lowers your rating, even if you needed a hint.

THREE TRIES AND A HELPING HAND Get it wrong and you can try again, up to three times. Stuck? Reveal the theme of the puzzle, or have the app show you which piece to move. If it still won't click, Chess Daily plays out the solution so you can see the idea.

JUST STARTING OUT? Switch to the Beginner puzzle set for gentler puzzles, with a short walkthrough of how puzzles work. You can swap between Beginner and Standard puzzles each day.

KEEP YOUR STREAK ALIVE Play every day to build your streak, look back at past days in the calendar, and set a daily reminder so you never miss one.

SHARE YOUR DAY Show off today's results as a picture or a row of coloured squares, without spoiling the puzzles for anyone else.

MAKE IT YOURS Choose your board colours, and play with or without the satisfying wooden piece sounds.

FREE, NO SIGN-UP No account and no subscription. Your puzzles are built into the app, so it works offline too.
