Free Chess Puzzles — Unlimited & Rated
Solve free, rated chess puzzles with no signup and no daily limit. Every puzzle is a tactic from a real game — forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks and mates — and solving them builds a puzzle rating that calibrates to your real level, just like on chess.com or lichess.
Unlike chess.com, which caps free members at a handful of puzzles a day, here every puzzle is free and unlimited because everything runs in your browser. Beyond rated puzzles you get a fast puzzle-rush mode, custom puzzles you build yourself, a global leaderboard, and a repeat deck that brings back the ones you missed.
The puzzles are drawn from a large database of real games, so every position genuinely happened — you are training patterns that show up in your own games, not artificial studies.
Ways to solve
Rated puzzles
Solve tactics one move at a time and build a puzzle rating that calibrates to your real strength, so the puzzles always match your level.
Unlimited, no daily cap
There is no five-a-day limit and no paywall — solve as many puzzles as you like, whenever you like, completely free.
Puzzle rush mode
Race the clock and solve as many tactics in a row as you can, training fast pattern recognition and pushing your streak as high as it goes.
Custom puzzles
Set up your own position and turn it into a puzzle to drill an exact tactic or share a challenge with a friend.
Repeat your misses
Every puzzle you get wrong drops into a repeat deck, so you come back and master the pattern instead of forgetting it.
Leaderboard
Compare your puzzle and puzzle-rush scores against other players on the global leaderboard and see how you stack up.

Frequently asked questions
Are the chess puzzles free and unlimited?
Yes. Every mode — rated puzzles, puzzle rush, custom puzzles, repeat and the leaderboard — is free with no signup and no daily limit, because everything runs in your browser.
Do I need an account to solve puzzles?
No. You can play and build a puzzle rating without an account. Signing in only saves your progress, streaks and settings across devices.
Where do the puzzles come from?
They are drawn from a large database of real games, so every puzzle is a tactic that genuinely happened over the board rather than an artificial study.
How does the puzzle rating work?
You start at a default rating that calibrates fast: it rises when you solve harder puzzles and falls when you miss, so it quickly settles near your true tactical strength.
Can I make my own chess puzzle?
Yes. Use the custom mode to set up any position and turn it into a puzzle you can solve or share.
What happens to puzzles I get wrong?
Missed puzzles go into the repeat deck, so you can come back and solve them again — turning your mistakes into training until the pattern sticks.
