Chess Puzzles

Short chess puzzles: find the move that gives checkmate. They start with simple endings and move on to famous traps and mates in two.

A wrong move is taken back so you can try again, and a hint shows which piece to move.

How to play

  1. Look at who moves and how many moves you have.
  2. Find the checkmate. Wrong moves are taken back.
  3. Use the hint if you get stuck.

A bit of history

Chess problems are older than modern chess itself: collections of mate puzzles were written in Arabic in the 9th century.
