The Chess.com Daily Puzzle is a tactical chess challenge where your goal is to find the best moves in a given position.

You are presented with a chessboard from a real or composed game and asked to determine the correct move or sequence of moves for the side to play. The puzzle continues until the winning idea has been completed.

Most puzzles revolve around classic tactical ideas such as:

  • β™ŸCheckmates
  • β™ŸWinning material
  • β™ŸTactical combinations
  • β™ŸForcing sequences

The key is recognizing patterns and calculating forcing moves. Checks, captures, and threats are often the starting point when searching for the correct move.

A new puzzle appears every day and typically gets more difficult as the week progresses. Solvers around the world attempt the same challenge and can compare results and watch expert explanations afterward.


Why we like it:

  • βœ…A quick daily workout for your tactical vision.
  • βœ…Real chess ideas you can apply in your games.
  • βœ…One puzzle shared by players all over the world.

Hint: Start by looking for checks, captures, and threats. These forcing moves often reveal the winning tactic hidden in the position.
